    wired or wireless lan


    i'll assume verizon will hit me with data usage charges even if i do wireless lan file transfers??

    if so, i'll assume that i have to do wired lan for transferring file between my 3 W7 workstations?

    Hello,

    Data File transfers has nothing to do with the Data Usage, you're not on unlimited plan with Verizon?

    You may do unlimited wireless/wired file transfers and won't affect your data usage plan with Verizon.

    Streaming Music/videos, downloading/uploading files using wired/wireless internet connection will affect your data usage.

    You may do Files sharing, but if the files are large the transfer rates might be very slow. You may give it a try.

    You may also consider a NAS solution, transfer rates are pretty fast. I use NAS at Home and Work and they are very good. I have 2 of these and works great.
