okay, so in the pictures of the back of the bubba/two there are a couple of cat-5 jacks that are labeled "LAN" and "WLAN". so i do as you suggest using those two jacks?Binkem wrote:I'm not familiar with the airport system, but I guess you should interchange the airport and the bubba so that bubba acts as the firewall between the inbternet and your intranet.
the modem would plug into the "LAN" jack and the airport would plug into the "WLAN" jack. is that right?
and thank you,

Again, there is no WLAN port.... Look carefully at the picture @

Hi,
In the case you describe you should plug the WAN port to your cable modem and LAN port to your airport.
Please see the manual for different network setups:

cool! thank you all.
the next question is if i have the airport should i wait for the wlan option to be deployed?
my thinking is that if i pickup bubba now i will save little money and get a new toy a little sooner. (i want one bad! )
and if i want to eliminate the airport i could always do that later.
thank you,

my airport extream uses a steady 3 watts. that is not much. i can't imagine that the refit would be much better. -the kirchoff laws you know-Hammer2 wrote:Fair enough.
I wonder how much extra power the WLAN option will consume, it's certainly not zero.
bubba 2 now draws 7 to 12 watts (disk dependent). i bet she draws up to 15 once you add the wireless. although it could be as low as 1 or 2 watts. i'll pro'lly use my bubba2 as is until my airport fails.
