Ah. I guess running two networks will find a use for my remaining old
expresses for airtunes and my old Boko.

If I can see 30 MBYTES/sec over 802.11n that will do more than nicely
for video serving. Thanks for that. I was dreading ripping up floors
and ceilings to get Gbit ethernet into the TV room.

Yes, it's what I have. I have the Netgear 'N' router, which Emily uses
for her iPod, as she finds it's a better connection than the Express
box. The Express I have is simply there to feed iTunes to my HiFi, and
is connected by ethernet to the network.

Then I have the Extreme box at 5Ghz 'N' for my MacBook. You also need to
be very fussy about location though, 5Ghz is more prone to interference,
and has a shorter range. I can move my speaker here, and lose 100Mb - a
metal copy stand I have here dropped it to 50Mbps.

Both of my Airport boxes are fairly old, the Extreme is the later square
model, but both only have 10/100 ethernet.

My peak here with Time Machine over the network is 113.3Gbps, which is
probably not the fastest it can go, it's just doing internal SATA drive

I'll assume you meant 113.3 Mbit/sec, which is still enough for me.

Go on then, what did you make of it?

I -hate- Ferrari. Cheating sods and have been for years. Whatever his
boyhood dreams, time for Massa to start looking elsewhere for a job.

Cheers,
