HDTV over WiFi: 802.11a helps

No, we're never satisfied. You'd think that just having the ability to stream HDTV over WiFi would be good enough, but it's not. We want it to be flawless; no hiccups, stutters, pixelation, nothing. Since we don't have a hard-wired Ethernet solution, nor a screaming Ethernet over Coax option just yet, we took the plunge and snapped up another router: the Linksys WRT55AG.
While the picture above may look like a funky blue insect, it's actually our new 802.11a router sitting on top of our 802.11g router. The longer antennas are the high gain range extenders that didn't really help our HDTV, but now we can sit in our neighbor's bathroom and surf the web on Sunday mornings. Find out after the jump how we set this configuration up and if it helped bring HDTV perfection to our Xbox 360.
