For anyone who has a home network, with a mixture of wireless and wired
connections, I'm sure you've been frustrated with speed issues when transferring
between local systems. Most of us who have a network at home also tend to
just have a wireless router that we plug a few wired devices into, and connect
the rest wirelessly. The downside to that is most wireless routers are
limited to 100Mbit/sec speed for the wired systems. Not a problem for
connecting to the Internet, but what if you have a media server you want to dump
files to? Expect a serious wait.
MaximumPC has an article on the advantages of moving to gigabit equipment, along with some suggested hardware if you're in the market for an infrastructure upgrade. The focus is really on those who use some sort of network storage solution, since that's where a regular 100Mbit connection really chugs.
Thanks to ShelbyGT for passing along the link. If you have news (tech or otherwise) that you think the WinCustomize community would be interested in, drop me a line via the forum PM system.
