Nothing strenuous. Its mostly old DVDs and the like and, I would think, rarely gets above 2000 kbps.

Bump!

Any word on this pngbanner? I would like to find a 5Ghz usb adapter that works OOB with rasplex, preferably off Amazon. 2.4Ghz is useless in apartments! Any more suggestions?

Personally it did not work very well for me. I decided to change the channel on my 2.4 GHz band instead.
