[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1938177, member: 175845"] The Wi-Fi connection is certainly handy and convenient, but if you prefer usually much better speed and reliability, you might want to consider using an ethernet cable instead for that connection as well as long as it is within the normal maximum 328ft / 100m cable length, and if your printer or any other devices are ethernet/network capable, I would be inclined to add them as well to your ethernet Network. Most normal routers would have enough ethernet connection ports to do that easily. And for using your two monitors, there are lots of quite affordable HDMI switches available. I don't know what you are doing about your keyboard and mice for each Mac you will probably need, but there used to be switches available to accommodate that situation as well if they still work with current Mac models. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
