  • I agree that many devices doing things all at once causes problems (though at any given time only one or two things are happening, so it's usually not noticeable). However, when it's the Windows 7 PC the network bandwidth is used to the extent that I can't even connect to the router to monitor/configure the network usage. If I boot into Linux (Ubuntu, in this case), no trouble at all. It's definitely slower, but everything still works as expected.

  • I do large, fast file transfers on fast machines on my wireless network all the time, and it never causes other devices to completely fail to connect. At worst it causes some lagginess and causes other operations to slow down somewhat.
