</div>Yeah, well, the modem can't live where the wire comes through the wall;<br>
that definitely wont pass the WAF. But I'm happy to have a dedicated<br>
coax that runs to where I can house the modem, and then of course I'll<br>
run Cat5e or Cat6 through the house.<br>
<br>
Wifi wont work; it's not good enough yet (and definitely not good enough<br>
for HDTV).<br></blockquote><div><br>he, he. all of the bad hdtv we see comes from comcast cable line (not the same wire as my data) . We stream netflix over wireless to the wii with no problems even with 2 other laptops in use on the same wifi AP.<br>
<br>of course the wii doesn't _do_ netflix in HD (no hdmi port).<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
