Hey All,
I have an internet connection in a room that has no computers. I want to place a WAP in that room and connect it to the cable modem.
I have another room with a printer and two computers. I want to place a wireless router in there and use the ethernet to attach the three devices.
Will the router be able to administer the internet connection? I am afraid that I need to physically connect the cable modem to a router for it to work, but I am hoping that I am wrong.
Also, will the router to WAP cause a significant degredation in internet access speeds? I will be limited to one G connection to the internet for all my devices, yes? (Both the WAP and the router are G.)
P.S. I don't have the model numbers in front of me, but this is fairly close:
