Having been a Pronto user for 9 years from the TS-1000 RC-5000 and an RU990, I've got an TSU6000 and an RFX6000 and I've got 2 questions.

1. I run a wireless network that has 3 Access Points to cover a house which is 55m (180ft) from one end to the other. It has to use WPA as a great deal of corporate email traffic passes around the internal netwok. The Pronto will only be used in a media room. I have an old Linksys WAP11 which is 11b only, and would be 6-10 feet away from Pronto. Would it work if I hooked up a Pronto dedicated Access Point to the RFX6000 via a crossover cable, in terms of throughput and compatibility with the Pronto? Has anyone tried the Pronto on an 11b network?

2. I want to use power sense for the one piece of equipment I can't get discrete codes for (Sky HD). Would the SVideo or a composite signal provide enough voltage?

I only loaded the software today and I'm really impressed. It's easy to use if you are used to Pronto programming but far more powerful and MUCH quicker.

Are you asking this question in the wrong forum? The Classic Pronto Forum is for the TSU6000. The TSU6000 and RFX6000 do NOT support WI-FI.

If your question is about the TSU9600 and the RFX9600, then you are in the right place. Please clarify.

You can create a 'sort of' discrete on/off for sky. Sky button will always give you on. Sky button then power toggle will always give you off. Both work irrespective of the current state of the sky box.

I got the model numbers screwed up - I'm talking about the TSU9600 and the RFX9600, hence the question about wireless access points. They arrive on Wednesday.

It's WAP54, and of course it'll work. and I don't think it needs a crossover cable. anyway just put the remote, the extender, and the AP on the same subnet and it'll work great.

You can run the RFX9600 off of a WAP54G from Linksys. Heck, I even had a 5 port switch behind the WAP running a PC, Escient DVDM, and the RFX9600.

It's a WAP11, and you do need a crossover cable if you just want to connect the WAP directly to the RFX and nothing else because it doesn't have an auto-sensing, auto-switching ethernet port.

The question was whether 11b would have enough bandwidth (which I'm almost 100% sure it does), and whether the remote is properly 802.11g compliant and therefore backwards compatible with 802.11b networks.

I may have got the model numbers confused, but I'm not an idiot, I set-up and run a domain based network including all the CAT5 infrastructure.
