Hey all,
Long time reader, first time poster...
I'm about to setup a home wireless network, and just want to run my plan past you guys to make sure everything will work the way I envision, or to hear of similar setups and the issues/victories that go along with them.
In my home, I have an iMac, PS3, and iPhone. I currently have your standard wired cable internet connection. I'm thinking of purchasing a D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router (they're super on sale this week, haha), which I will of course connect to my current cable connection. My iMac is N enabled, but I will be connecting it directly to the routers' gigabit ethernet port, and configuring it as a media server with Playback or PS3 Media Server, or similar software. My plan for my PS3 is to simply connect it to the wireless network I will be setting up with the D-Link and if all goes well, stream media from my iMac wirelessly.
Am I missing anything in my setup, or am I not considering something I should be considering? I work in IT, so I'm comfortable configuring the wireless router.
Thanks!
