Thus always been curious what seems home network a serious geek? Well let us take a tour.
Click the following thumbnail to download a PDF of my network and read along as we explore the components.
1. Fourth man
The Internet connection is provided by Comcast. The 8Mbps download version. With the Apple Airport Extreme router I get more than that, often, and the loading of 768 Kbps full I'm allowed Airport Extreme provides a service network-attached storage using a Maxtor OneTouch II 250 GB drive. Used for backup and occasional moving files to the extreme. Attached is a power adapter Panasonic's HD PLC. This provides network over the House mains to also encrypt all traffic this feeds the man room Xbox 360 and wireless coverage in the back of the house that acts of Xbox 360 as a media center extender to provide TV viewing on the home network I will be moving the Airport Express to the living room to pass downstairs. The iTunes AppleTV is talking with the man room Airport Extreme via 5 GHz 802 .11n wireless. My main desktop computer is an iMac G5 which is connected to the extreme via wired connection. Was easier than wireless 802.11 G irregular because it is in the same wall as the primary network connectivity I stopped a hacked Linksys WRT54G with ddWRT that offers wireless 802.11 g for my powerbook and the Airport Express about the effect of the House. It simply is connected in extreme in access point mode not so all Apple router based on sharing works.2 living room.
A second Airport Extreme provides performance wired through 5 GHz 802 .11n wireless home network. The HP z545 Home Media Center provides functions for double DirecTV DVR receivers. grant not HD, but good enough for us for now.This is what sends TV content for the Xbox 360 so I can watch my programs written while my wife watches it.Unfortunately HP recently announced that it will quit doing these style units.3. Home back
Uplink network is provided by another Panasonic HD-PLC powerline adapter. 871W Cisco that used to be that my main router is now designated as 802.11 G access point coverage to the end of the room of the House.Then you ask how Microsoft and Apple can play in the same House for entertainment media? Ya'll there. Media Center as the primary DVR with iTunes/Podcasting content via an AppleTV. Lance in occasional use VisualHub to convert MS-DVR recorded TV shows and I can make that game on AppleTV or my iPod on the road.
