I have a query on wireless-n Ethernet(rj-45) adapters, before i begin let me give quick view of my setup :
I have a Panny V20 attached to which is my ps3 slim, the ps3 is connects over wifi to my home network via a Buffalo router (wzr-hp-g300nh). The router also has a wired PC (an old Athlon x2 rig) and a couple of net-books over wifi. There are also 2 wifi-n based phones that connect to the router occasionally.
Now the above setup is perfectly fine for streaming SD and DVD quality stuff. But when it comes to HD stuff the wireless G card in the ps3 seems to be a bottleneck. Also my net-books are having g based cards which work as long as we are not trying to stream HD. I use the wired athlon x2 rig for streaming the videos using Tversity.
I am thinking of getting a wireless-n Ethernet adapter which goes into the gigabit port of the ps3 and will connect at n speeds to my router considering the fact that all other 11g based equipment is switched off
I am a little skeptical about the wireless-n Ethernet adapter as far as HD streaming (720p will suffice) goes, hope someone over here at the forum has experience with it. Please give your opinion or suggestion. Information on pricing will be great, option for two Ethernet ports will be an added advantage.
Note : I cannot run a Ethernet cable from ps3 to the router as they sit far apart, the Ethernet socket on the wall in my flat turned out to be just dumb sockets with no actual wiring done
