RPI2 Model B - 100mbps ethernet good enough for basic peripheral sharing?

Submitted by Benoire on #1

Hi

I'm using a RPI2 Model B to share some devices to other PCs. The devices are generally just peripheral types such as mice, keyboards, game pads etc. and the occasional memory stick.

I appreciate the memory stick will be heavily constrained and that is fine but is the ethernet port link speed sufficient for the other USB hardware indicated? I don't want to go and purchase a license for the unit and then find I should have got a RPI4 with the 1GB ethernet port and then be able to transfer the license.

BTW do you offer a 3 concurrent restricted device licenses or is that only for Steam Link?

Thanks,

Chris

Sure the pi2 is fine, except for high resolution video cameras or running audio at the same time as other devices. No 3 device license.
