Improve your Wireless Performance for Streaming Media

One of the biggest frustrations with streaming media can be the constant rebuffering. That's why it's so important to have the right devices and wireless equipment to get the most of your setup. We found a small but informative article at MediaSmartHome that starts out:
Everyone knows that for best wireless performance with a digital media receiver, especially when streaming HD video, one has to use an wireless "n" router. What people usually don't know is that a wireless router needs to meet requests from all clients (including the legacy b, g, and a devices) so any client with a legacy receiver (say a printer with wireless "g", or a laptop with wireless "b") can in effect slow down or downgrade your overall performance.
one of the tips in the article:
You connect your old router to one of the LAN ports of your wireless "n" router, and you configure it in "bridge" mode. Bridge mode means that there is no DHCP server running on this router (all IP's will be provided by the "n" router" and connects to the Internet via your "n" router).
So if you're struggling to keep your streaming media seamless, be sure to check out the article.
