Hi

Im on vodafone at home connection and want to watch movies on laptop downstairs which are on pc upstairs

Is this possible through vodafone router in ireland or would there be a lag on movies through shared folder?

Thanks
Noel

 

I watch movies streamed over Netflix without any problem over wireless 802.11g. After all, the wireless isn't the bottleneck... it's the Internet connection... and I've got a 5Mbps down connection. The movies look just fine to me... so it should be quite doable.

 

I can stream 1080P video to my xbox over a G router without an issue and thats from the web. Between two machines in the same house? shouldnt be an issue with a G class router. Have you got any more information on what the vodafone router is? make model etc?

 

Agreed, wireless isn't an issue (hence the fact that you can stream to a PS3 and have that as a media server).

I even watch media streamed to my Archos 605 wirelessly from my NAS, never an issue.

 

Well, you can, if you have a crappy wireless connection. Just like the picture will freeze a lot if your wired connection isn't stable. ;)
