I think the issue of whether you can use the built-in wifi adapter in the RP3 should be in the FAQ as it would save a lot of time for first time Pirate Box users.
I also have the use of a better adapter with more range and will try that as well once I get things put together. The parts are on order right now.
This is a cool idea and sort of similar to the media player use of the Pi I have also started to put together. I dont see there being a problem but it is good to see there is this forum if there is one.
I do have one question which does not seem to be addressed anywhere. If I am going to use the pirate box with several people and they want to stream a movie from my box, will there be some sort of bandwidth problem when I get a couple of people wanting to view or watch a few different movies at the same time? Is the RP3 going to be bogged down trying to stream more than one movie at a time?
Maybe that will only be a problem with the slower speed of moving data off a usb2 stick where they will be located, but I am not sure.
Thanks for all you guys do here.
