[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1349947, member: 197651"] Just to reiterate what has been said above. The only thing you will gain from being on a Gigabit connection is for transferring files between computers. Your internet will be only as fast as the modem allows (10mb avg, 50mb if lucky). You will have no issue streaming even over a 10mb ethernet connection. 100mb is pretty standard. A cabled solution will give less worry, but remember to disable/turn off the wireless on your computer or you could end up with 2 connections fighting on the same machine. The only REAL benefit will be as you said - wake on lan (WOL) from the iPad. [/QUOTE]
