I had the same fear, but went ahead and connected it to the network anyway. It was a snap to set up, had it working in 10 minutes and in fact I dont think it is causing any network issues. All I have is an el-cheapo router with DHCP server and a decent switch. I dont know the technical details, but when recordings and playing are happening simultaneously, I dont notice any impact on normal network activity.
