    Default Anyone know of a third party WIFI/WRLS USB stick that works with the Patriot Box?

    Ive been trying to buy one of these Wifi/Wireless adapters in Canada for weeks and I can never snag one in time.

    has anyone tested another manufacturers WIFI usb stick to see if it will work?
    If so .. which model?

    I want the Patriot one but I cant get it anywhere.

    Thank you,

    Patriot promised a WIFI compatibility list in the near future.
    Meanwhile, Candacomputers (East) and XpressCanada (West) are taking backorders for $25 and $22 respectively.

    NCIX doesn't carry the adapter (last time I checked).

    Hi, I have been testing the wirelessmediastick, a new product that was just released. It works wirelessly by emulating a usb drive, and it works real well with this device -- only after the 04 update though, before that, it couldn't see the emulated drive.

    I am wirelessly streaming fine off my 2 home servers. the company is called hsti.

    Very interesting, too bad they are still not available for public yet (at least I couldn't find any purchasing links).

    or wirelessmediastick.com

    I actually stream from two patriot gearbox devices too, but I found that they are great for divx, mp3s, pictures, etc, they struggle a bit with HD files. Great little nas boxes though, for simiple file sharing, such as this..
