[QUOTE="Klathman, post: 196205, member: 53773"] If you really need to use a wireless network then wireless-n MAY work or sticking a big external aerial on your AP but neither are guaranteed solutions. I've had good results using a larger external aerial on the AP if the server is in good coverage as the client receives a stronger signal but results will vary and if you need traffic to go in the opposite direction (think handshaking/packet acknowledgments) then you'll still have problems. Then again there's still no beating good old CAT5/6 cable for performance. I've gone that way now and the wireless network is more just for convenience when speed isn't an issue. I would recommend Cat6 though. Better to do it once and do it well than have to rip it out and replace it once you NEED Cat6 for that HighDef 10GB network that Cat5 won't support. [/QUOTE]
