from the router, it goes into the loft where it then goes into a 1gig switch and distributed around the house.<br><br>boarder picture<br>the house is only small, so i can only see a max of 2 mythtv FE's. i am planning on moving the BE into the loft (thus 1gig connection) and having just the FE in the living room.<br>
<br>maybe im being shortsighted or i've been looking at new routers too much, but will there be an actual benefit between 100mbit and 1gig for an FE-only machine?? asmuch as gigabit lan would be nice, i cant help but think it's wasted money.<br>
