OK, I have to use wireless for my A3 and I was not real pleased with the performance. I had seen somewhere that that someone was having trouble streaming with their A3 on wireless, but a ROKU box was working great. Got to thinking (I know a dangerous state) and decided that a bridge was the answer.

I had a WAP54g access point floating around and I uploaded it with dd-wrt which allows for use as a bridge. So, now my A3 thinks it is on a wired network and the speeds are improved. You can still find the Linksys Wxx54g routers around, in fact I have one in route now, to have as a backup. You may even have one floating around in the junk box. There are other routers that dd-wrt will work on and there are other options for the dd-wrt as well.

The only drawback is that some of the apps refuse to work without a WiFi connection. Just thought I would pass this on, as it might help someone else.
