Q&A: slinglink or powerline adapter?
Question by adrian: slinglink or powerline adapter?
I'm thinking about getting a slingbox AV and i know that i have to connect a router to it and my router is in another room in my house. so, i have 3 questions:
1. do i have to buy the slinglink so that i could connect my router to the slingbox?
2. if i do need the slinglink, do i have to buy 2 of them?
3. can i use a powerline ethernet adapter instead of the slinglink?
Help please!

Answer by LW
The Slinglink is pretty much a powerline ethernet adapter, so it may be worth trying a generic one if you don't want to buy theirs.
I've got friends who have had luck using a 802.11g wireless bridge (available from Linksys and others) to connect to a wireless router - maybe that's an option for you.
Given the two choices, I'd try the wireless option first. I think that's more likely to be reliable.

Pros and cons DHCP vs Static IP for a home wireless and wired network.?
Question by John Dull est: Pros and cons DHCP vs Static IP for a home wireless and wired network.?
I have a Wireless Linksys router and use some wired desktops and wireless/wired notebooks plus plan on pluggin in a Slingbox.
Is it best to set my router to enable DHCP or to set it maually?
Best answer:
Answer by Bobby_420
I keep DHCP enabled, but some of my computers I assign a static IP to. Why? Because I like to know the specific IP for my desktop and my wifes desktop. Sometime I need that to access it over the network and do not want it changing all the time. Other than that I do not know of any benefits of speed or anything. Just personal preference.

Answer by LeviathanTM
you need to actually purchase the Slingplayer...its a device that allows you to link your television to your phone so you can watch live tv from your phone in real time. Currently there is no way to "get around" the sling player because it requires a reciever to send the television to you rphone...unless you know someone who has a slingbox and will let you use there ID.
Think of it this way, if you download XM radio you cant listen to the satellites from your phone because you dont have the antenna.

Best answer:
Answer by Grá
No miracle devices... sorry! (:
But if you play video games, go with the DS - it's great. I love that you can connect and play with other people. And it's super small and lightweight, but still has awesome graphics, wi-fi, and a pretty nice touch screen...
