It was designed for the complete novice with the aim being ease of install. If you have the option to add a router, that would be your best choice as you can maintain as clean as possible bandwidth.

I've had a Slinglink since they first came out - my Tivo and Slingbox were really, really picky with wireless bridges. I haven't had any problems at all with the Slinglink. In fact, I just added another Slingbox and a DirecTV HD DVR and got another Slinglink. And I don't see any degradation in quality at all. - sheureka

Slinglink is definately an easier setup than adding it directly to the network. If you like your setup now, imagine how incredible it would be when you actually clean up the signal by taking it off the dirty AC line |

That is where i get my idea of what equipment you have. Quote:
So are you absolutely sure you tried "them all" |

Slinglinks work great just like other homeplug devices. |

When you set up a more complex network using Routers as "Switches" you are not double NAT as the gateway unit is normally your DHCP server. One unit is configured as a gateway, the other simply as a switch. Only need one eh? Sure if you have an ultra simple network that may be the case. Anything slightly more complicated may require more than one. Since the OP mentioned using a router we can only go with the idea he clearly has a different need than you do. Personally i have a server as a gateway (SOHO quality firewall), 2 wireless switches (1 b/g at 2.4ghz, 1 N at 5ghz, as well as an 8port gigabit switch (15 hardwired, 4 wireless devices). The way my network is configured i could not do it with one device (when we lan party i break out the 24 port switch). Like i mentioned before, depending on your personal expectations and standards Sling itself as well as the AC connection may be fine, and thats ok. It simply is not up to snuff more my tastes, i have different expectations. Last edited by canospinach; 12-25-2007 at 12:59 PM. |
