Need something explained to me...
I am soon to be getting a cable modem and was needing to feed it to three computers. A PC & Mac in my office area and a PC in my daughters room about 50ft away. Was hoping to run a wireless connection to her room and Cat5 to my computers since they will be right at the cable modem.
So what would I need to split the modems feed into 3 or more connection ports with the ability to have Cat5 & wireless connections?
What you are looking for is a wireless router with a built-in switch. This device will allow you to plug your cable modem into it, and the plug your computer into that. It will also function as a base station for your wireless network, allowing you to wirelessly share your connection. You will also need a wireless NIC for the remote PC.
