    I have one for couple weeks now. Wireless is a little weak but overall good unit.

    If you want use it to stream your 1080p video via WiFi N - forget it!

    How it can provide "high-speed up to 300Mbps data rate using IEEE 802.11n connection" having maximum 100Mbps wired connection?

    #2. I agree. I came here to make the same comment about the 100Mbps connection. It's just not fast enough to take advantage of Wireless N's potential.

    Even high end, 3xMIMO 802.11N access points are going to max out at around 110-120Mbps of actual throughput, so the 100Mbps is fine for this.

    Thank you #4, people seem to keep forgetting you don't ever get near the paper spec for wifi, just as you don't with USB/etc... and that's if someone has a fairly good 11n connection.

    However, #2 failed to mention the max bluray bitrate is 40Mbps, downsized content even less, you should be able to stream it with 100Mb wired ethernet, and even better than if you had 11n and GbE because the wired ethernet is not subject to interference/resends so much unless the cable is physically damaged.
