Hi,
I just had my cable internet connection shifted to (my bedroom) 20 or more feet
away from my cable modem (in my TV room). The RG-59 wire in the wall is giving a
signal of about -10db at 591 Mhz, @ channel 85 on the TV spectrum. So using an
internet splitter with the TV connections is out, and a second cable outlet is
being used for the interent; and now my TV and internet are recieving much
better signal strengths than before.
My question is, how do I get rid of this 20+ foot cable running through my
hallway? I expect to get a second computer in my TV room in the future, which is
where the first one running Win 98SE resides now. I have a notion that having
the modem in my bedroom with an Access Point using the BuffaloTech stuff may
still not provide security. I am confused about what to do. Since wireless
routers can only hook up one computer at a time to the internet via wireless
signals (is that true?), how do I hook up two computers wirelessly to a modem
20+ feet away (provided the modem was moved 20+ feet away, to the bedroom)?
