[QUOTE="Big_Mac, post: 965925, member: 134778"] I would say that is exactly the case - hence why only one of the machines can connect to the WiFi AP - the marina control access via the 'MAC' address of the machine that joins the network. However, it's what you do after this that dictates whether you can share the connection or not i think - as the mac is used to join the Access Point (and therefore the host WiFI registers that mac's 'MAC' address against the connection), connecting a wireless router (AEX) via ethernet to the mac does not interfere with this connection or the limit of one machine per connection to the AP - it just allows other 'clients' to share the connection.... The theory sounds good anyways! [/QUOTE]
