Hi,

You can read benchmarks and specs until you are blue in the face, but
nothing beats descriptions of real world use.

To those that are using Pre-N / Draft-N, what performances are you actually
seeing?

Curious because I know one of the things that I am going to be wanting to do
in the future is be able to stream high definition video to multiple
locations in my house simultaneously. I can currently stream HD great from
my WMC (Vista) to my HDTV (extender is an XB360) in the living room. My WMC
is on my 802.11a WLAN, of which everything also uses DLink's proprietary
"turbo" channel-bonding black magic. The XB360 has no problem keeping up.
The XB360 is plugged directly into a LAN port on one of my 802.11a/g
routers. Tune test on the XB360 even shows the bars on the throughput graph
to be completetly peaked. However, once other heavy WLAN traffic starts
moving around, it tapers down to top of standard definition video range.

I was thinking that when the time comes, I'll take my WMC off my 802.11a
WLAN and run it on a new 802.11n network that will be just for heavy
multimedia streaming. (More crap in the air, I know. I'll make sure
everything is well seperated.)

Anyone using Pre-N / Draft-N to stream HD to multiple locations
simultaneously right now? Or is running cable in the future if you want to
do this...

I'm not only going to wait on 802.11n to be ratified, but also going to wait
on the second generation of hardware after it is ratified so all the
inevitable initial problems can be ironed out.. So, still two years
away....

Thanks...
