Abstract: In one embodiment, the living room computer includes a housing, the housing including a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) port, a SFP cage coupled to the SFP port, the SFP cage configured to receive a SFP transceiver, a flat-panel display screen coupled to the housing, and a main board coupled to the flat-panel display screen. The SFP cage is configured to communicate with both optical fiber and copper wire networks. The main board includes a processor, a memory, and an SFP interface coupled to the SFP cage and to the processor. The processor is configured to receive data from the SFP interface and process the data for display on the flat-panel display screen. In one embodiment, the main board includes a wireless module and the processor is configured to process data received from the SFP interface for transmission by the wireless module, and the memory includes software executable by the processor such that the living room computer operates as an IEEE 802.11 access point.
