Home networking
Last night I shifted the home wireless network from 802.11n only to n/g. This allows my iPhone to get on the network properly in the house and not rely on 3G speeds. Though they are fast, they aren’t as fast as the cable modem. This will also allow me to start working with presence detetcion. In essence, allow my phone to instruct my desktop at home to change status messages and perform other tasks when I’m acutally in the house.
Part of the reason I had set the network to 802.11n only was to ensure video delivery to the XBox 360 in my living room was clear. Since I’ve never really used it since I set it up, and we’re probably going to suspend our NetFlix account due to lack of use… yeah. That’s gone. And we’re not using the big stereo in the living room anyway so I don’t need to have the airport express out there anyway.
