    Do you recommend it? How is it for PS3? and most important, how is it for streaming wireless HD movies from a PC?

    My neighbor has one, Ive worked with it and it does its job like it should, decent range as well. Unfortunately Ive never brought my PS3 to her house so I cant tell if it works well with the PS3.


    Sorry if its kinda out of topic but I would recommend the WRT54G, specially with DDWRT custom Firmware. It works fantastic with my PS3, amazing range and no dropouts. I use Tversity between my PC and PS3 and movies stream great.

    if you have any model, besides version 2, you can flash dd-wrt onto it. dd-wrt will give you slightly more performance over stock firmware.

    but how about streaming 1080p movies from an external hard drive? i've heard that a wireless g will cause 1080p video to be choppy. is that correct?
