does steaming video / dl files currently effect the bandwidth of your network?

I personally would not stream video while doing a large light show

there is only so much bandwidth available, so everything will effect the bandwidth and either slow things down or cause other problems

Well, if i'm running a show for a couple hours each night during christmas season. I don't want to limit my ability to go online and do stuff based on a light show, So i'd want to have my show computer on a seperate "etherdongle network" so i can still do stuff during christmas.  : )

See now you are just being silly. After spending all of that money and hours of work for a light show why in the world would you want to surf the web during your show. You need to be outside staring out it and marvel at your handy work.

btw: Everyone, just kidding

I think the BEST tip is setup a 2nd network JUST for your light show ... 2nd nic is ~$30 or you may all ready have one on your system.  I know I plan on using my wired NIC on my system for the show and wireless is my way into it.

Also a good point to remind people of overlapping WiFi signals .... I know this is a HUGE issue in my area.  I talked to RJ about this at the Acadamy and he doesn't have this issue as much.  But with 802.11 standard only having 3 non overlapping signals (1,6,11) becomes tough in a typical neighborhood to not interfere with SOMEONE.  I know a LOT of the WiFi issues I have troubleshoot 9Nribours, family, friends) have been related to this.  overlapping with another close / strong signal can effice range and speed .... SO well worth looking into do and doing a site survey - especially if you are setting up a 2nd WiFi network.

not to mention, a 2.4 Ghz cordless phone can interfere with wireless G, so it's not limited to just computer equipment either.
