Yeah, I am using the backup feature to copy content from my external HD (800gig!) over usb. So that's better. However for basic streaming of HD content across the house I am wondering if I should go to a Wireless N router which is capable of pushing more data around, or is the bottleneck at the ReadyNAS itself?

Also, would I benefit from a Gigabit router or not?
