This little thing ROCKS!
Reviewed by Holly. Review Posted 03/10/2008
Get one. Really, it's superb. It works with Mac and Windows (I have one working on my network which is all Netgear and on the network are two Macs and three Windows PCs - XP and Vista).
It streams my music to my hifi in the kitchen and living room which I can wireless remote control using my Nokia or iPod. It also streams radio from the iPlayer for me so I can listen again to Chris Evans et al away from the computer.
It also allows you to connect a hard disk or printer to share via USB and has Cat 5 if you want to wire into it with RJ45.
On a Mac network i.e. Mac router it will act as a bridge. On a Netear network i.e. anything not Mac it is a client to isn't a bridge by does stream / share hard disk or printer still.
Cracking little unit.
