We've got the Roku Netflix streaming box running right now and I've killed our wireless router three times with firmware upgrades and by forcibly killing it with network traffic1.
The Roku hasn't skipped a beat. Sweet.
1 never buy a D-Link WBR-1310.

using the 360 FTW!
Yeah I'm actually not sure how the 360 would have faired. I recall it gets a little noisy when the net pipe unhooks. The Roku, on the other hand, didn't even pop a message when the network went out—it just kept on chewing through its buffer until things were restored.
