Problem with my order for a wireless MVP

[dvd_maniac]

I ordered an MVP on Friday 8/3/07 and promptly received an email confirming my order. Shortly after that I received another email with my license key.
But that is all I got. I thought I should have received one more email with shipping information so yesterday afternoon I sent orders@sagetv.com an email asking for the status of my order and have not heard anything back yet.

Is this normal? I have purchased hardware from them on 3 or 4 other occassions and do not remember not receiving shipping info or long wait times to receive delivery?

Order processing + shipping would total up to more than the time since you ordered, eh?

You did read about the many complaints about poor Wireless LAN performance of the Wireless MVP before you ordered, right?

I saw some conflicting reports but thought I'd take a chance.

And Sage finally emailed me back with the Shipping info... They shipped it out 3 days ago.
Probably just forgot to send the Shipping Info email.

then you probably also read that a wired MVP + a good WiFi bridge will work OK. I found a sale on a Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP - works well. It has a built-in 4 port switch, so it's a WiFi "workgroup bridge" and can feed the MVP and PCs or whatever, without a separate switch. I put it up high on top of furniture, but out of sight, for a better RF path to the w-router.
