I'm getting HWS tomorrow. No Joeys. Only 1 TV. It's replacing a 622 and 722 that were both going to that TV. In order to use DISH Anywhere, I was using a wireless bridge behind my cabinet with a cat5 going from the bridge to each of the receivers.
There was a time, as I would add another WiFi device in the home (a Kindle or media player, for instance), one of my other devices would get knocked off. That was, however, just prior to my router dying. Now, everything works fine. I have a PC hardwired to my router/modem. Then I have the following connected via WiFi: 2 laptops, another PC, a wireless bridge with 2 DISH receivers connected to it, 2 android phones, media player, PS3, XBox 360, and occasionally a Kindle.
Since the HWS has WiFi, is there any point in keeping the bridge in my setup? The Hopper would be the only thing wired to the bridge. Does the Hopper's WiFi in any way add more burden than the bridge? Would the bridge be more reliable? I never have a problem connecting to my ViPs via DISH Anywhere.
Thanks.
