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 (and NAT if thats your level of protection). 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.

I see you know nothing about networking.

So what EXACTLY do i not know and how am i mistaken?

Be specific, show documentation links etc.

then you would be double NAT'ed

is blatantly mistaken. If you say you know anything about networking you would know this. Please dont continue to show your limited knowledge.

Personally your post is worthless. I read your posts, unless you want to start positively contributing i might recommend you tone back your posting.

I dont agree with you, instead of being an adult about it you lash out with childish statements.

Be civil, decent and intelligent.

Digiblur, you came in here and told me i was "Wrong", please show me what it is you are referring to. As mentioned in my other post this is how it works. I share my opinion and the evidence why. If you disagree you state it AND SHOW YOUR EVIDENCE WHY.

Clearly at this point you are far from an expert and have shown us such by your own statements. If you wish to engage me as you did, you need to be prepared to justify your point or you need to learn to be respectful to those who know more than you do and refrain from making pointless comments.

I will repeat myself until you address the issue. If you need a translation i will be happy to provide.

Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
