Great site guys lots of usefull info.

Since the stb needs to be connected to the internet and my wireless is run through a mac, does anybody see a problem with this working?

Hi, I'm not sure if you are trying to say you receive wireless from <wherever> and want to use a wireless to wired connection bridge inside your mac and connect your nFusion through the mac's ethernet port, or by mac you mean apple hardware in general.

I can tell you how mine is hooked up though. I have an airport extreme N connected to my high speed modem and it has 3 wired ports on the back which the nFusion is plugged into and it runs absolutely fine.

A couple suggestions i've found work a bit better, don't use DHCP on the nFusion, set it to a static IP, this doesn't mean you have to turn DHCP off on your router/airport. Also set up port forwarding for port 50000 to that IP if you want to use the IPPvr software. These are regardless of airport/linksys/dlink, it is all standard networking settings. Again these are not necessary but it brings a little stability to life, plus then you always know the IP for loading bins though the webloader

I hope this helps
