So I just finished building my PC until I realized that I have no way to get internet. I am a huge noob on all this stuff and need some help to figure it all out.
My PC is sitting a room across the hall away from where the modem and router are. This means I cannot connect Ethernet without having a loooooong cable going across the hallway which I guess could be an option but I would prefer to stay away from it. Let me know if this option is best!
I know I could get a wireless adapter (either USB 3.0 or PCi E x1) and I would prefer this if I knew what kind of price I would need to spend for good speeds. Let me know what costs and performance wireless adapters are.
Another option I thought about (but again I am a noob with networking and not sure how it works) is to get another modem or router to put in my room and connect with Ethernet that way. How would this work and it would it be more cost effective than the wireless adapter?
Thanks to everyone that is more experienced with this than me and let me know what you think!
