powery Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 So, we're finally moving out of the 90s and getting cable internet. I just have one question, my bedroom is upstairs, and the modem is going to be downstairs, would it be best to run a cable upstairs or get a wireless router, which leads to the second half of my question how much will be affected by using a router, there is a lot of wallspace between my room and the place where the router would be. and if I run a cable, how long can a cable be? __________________ Discount Dental Insurance Plans raise capital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2k Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Wireless would be easier and less work. If you want it wired though, the cable (cat5) can be max. 100 meters long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macprogrammer Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The best will be to get a wireless modem as it is more easy to set up and less work. Probably would suggest a wireless router too. If you are familiar with Apple products, go with an AirPort Extreme. I have used them for years and love them. No issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
