New Squeezebox released

Sorry, I should've been more clear. If you connect directly to the Squeezebox via Ad-Hoc connection (No Router), then it's b only. But if you use a router, of course you can use g. I don't have a router so I have no choice regarding connection type. [a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=337953"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] I've never heard of this before. Did someone at Slim tell you this, or is this first hand experience? We use ad-hoc mode all the time for demos (with both Dell inspirons and powerbooks) and I'm pretty sure it always connects in .g mode. Sean Adams CEO, Slim Devices [a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=338205"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] Hmm...While reading a bunch of articles trying to figure out how to set up a connection I thought I came across one saying that. Looking them up again, all I found is one saying that the IEEE 802.11 standard requires a maximum speed of at least 11 Mbps. Sort of a minimum maximum, I guess you'd call it. Faster speeds are possible, but not required. That's probably where I got the idea of Ad-Hoc being b only. BTW, I just tried setting my card to g only and for some reason I can't connect. It'll probably take some tinkering for me to get that right. It's nice to see you posting here Sean, I have another username over in the Slim forums. It's great to see how involved you and the staff are over there. I hope that never changes!
