Yeah, that's definitely harsh and not enough if working with remote files... And
inconsistent througput is not fun at all, can only imagin the packet errors and

Cool... I've got a couple wifi to lan receivers I wound up not needing, which I
may use in the future... my single AP in the middle of the house on the second f
loor reaches the entire property just fine (which isn't that big), can get to th
e back patio and yard fine, as well as into my car, which sometimes has issues w
ith continuity for calls as I'm driving away.
