Hi there,
i read a lot in this forum. I learned a lot. Thanks to all for your posts to get my homesystem to work.
I wanted to install a mediacenter, that´s able to play every file i have. I wanted to do this with as less connections as possible.
The first thoughts were the powerline solutions, but i read that there are a lot of things to solve, till there are no more interferences. Also i saw that it mosten just work in areas where you could also use cables. The prices were as high as my following and now installed solution.
I learned that hd is just with cables, and better, with gigabit possible. So i decided to install just a router for my internet connection. It had to be a gigabit router, and the netgear wndr3700 was my first and last choice.
I installed ubuntu 9.1 on several machines. For my colleages and myself, so i learned pretty much about the possibilites and different driver solutions.
At this pc right now, my toshiba l500 19e laptop with a realtek8191se wlan card, ati 4570 graphics adapter and msi usb dongle, i gathered something i thought it wasn´t possible.
The ati 4570, with xbmc 911 beta1, was running directly after i updated the hardware drivers with the normal gui.
The wlan worked after i found a suitable 8192se linux driver and chose method 2 of the described installation routine in its readme.
The Msi dongle helps me to remote control the xbmc with anyremote/kanyremote.
I downloaded several files to test the hd playback and all went well from usb/harddrive. But at the end i tested the netgears readyshare. What shall i say? It works like a charm and without drops via wlan. No cables, just via wlan.
Regards and thanks again.
