Review Summary |
When the X5000 works, it's among the very best home media centers we've ever played with. It's not, however, perfect for design and implementation. |
The Linksys Wireless-B media adapter does a good job of letting media hounds beam MP3s to their stereo or digital pictures to their TV, but it's pricey considering what it still lacks. |
If you're looking for a router with great range, this is it. |
Although it plays images and audio effortlessly, couch potatoes and movie mavens will be dismayed by the Neuston's less-than-stellar wireless video playback. |
