Sling Link or another Router????

[rstcso]

I can tell you my experience the past couple of days hooking up a Slingbox Solo using Slinglink. The speed using Slinglink was marginal (200Kbps) when watching on a computer hardwired to the router and when trying to watch on the phone, comes to a screeching halt after less than a minute with an error saying the speed was too low. I bought a Linksys bridge model WGA54G (Best Buy $69.99) yesterday and hooked it up and the speed is almost tenfold over the Slinglink.

That's odd - I'm watching mine right now hooked up the same way - and I'm streaming at about 3200 Kbps. - sheureka

Shuereka - where is that "Evidence to the contrary" you spoke of?

CanoSpinach I almost put a note on that last post wondering how long it would take you to come on and either call me a liar or an idiot. I am really, really sick of you stalking me. I know you're going to enjoy knowing that you've managed to intimidate me - and I haven't posted in a couple of days because I was so uncomfortable with your following me around. I am going to report your abusive behavior. I don't suppose it will make any difference, but it has forced me to not use this forum anymore. - sheureka

3200 kbps is probably the slingbox topping out, plenty enough for SD video.

Homeplug is very nice especially in areas where the 2.4ghz band is shot. Anyone want to warm up the hot pockets in the microwave?

We used a set of the 84mbps ones to connect two buildings together as there was already 15+ other access points in the area. Figured it wouldn't hurt to try the Homeplug devices before we went 802.11a. Plugged them up, setup the security, and we have no issues with the 10 computers in that building. Homeplug technology has come a long way since it first came out.

Shuereka- Please review your own posts before you try to "Blame" me for anything.

First off i have not called you either a "Liar" or an "Idiot". I simply have asked you questions. IF YOU feel your an idiot or a liar that is your issue.

I cannot make you feel anything you dont already feel.

I apologize that you feel i am stalking you as that is certainly not the case. If you have not noticed I have 400+ posts, clearly i will be in some threads others are in.

I came in here and thoughtfully gave you some polite feedback at which time you made a less than friendly response. I was not attacking you, nor was i discrediting what you were saying. It was completely your choice to engage me with crappy comments to which you were not prepared to thoroughly discuss.

Both you and Digiblur need to take responsability for your actions and either learn to be civil, decent and intelligent, or please goto a forum where people will appreciate your "less than" attitude.

Personally if you think i will put up with snyde remarks and false statements you are sorely mistaken as i have an expectation of civility for anyone who wishes to engage me.

Enjoy your time away.

I know the Slinglink must be working good for many people because I haven't found too many complaints, so that's why I went that route to start, but for whatever reason, it didn't work out for me. Maybe it's because I have four girls in the house, all with their own hair dryers, curling irons and whatever else they may be plugging in.

well lets see. if you knew anything about sling boxes then you wouldnt ask that question. if you use those little round things in your head called eyes and look at the corner of the slingbox tv display it tells you how much bandwidth you are using =D> .

ok enough of that. you have succesfully turned this thread into a useless rant into your own ego and a waste of bb database space.

Agreed. No more useless debating please.

Look, if you have another opinion please feel free to state. Be sure to use that grey matter in your head and stop making uncalled for rude remarks (i sound JUST like you dont I?).

Your remark is snippy and uncalled for. Please be adult.

FYI, My ego is not so fragile as to need 3rd party verification. Please only speak for yourself as its horribly arrogant for you to attempt to tell me what my issues are.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.
