Hi,
I have two teenage sons who are into online gaming.
I have a linksys router (wireless) that is about 3 years old connected
to a cable modem on the main floor. My first son could not get the
speed he wanted (downstairs) so i ran a cat5 cable to his room and he
is happy.
My second son just purchased an Alien Ware computer and he is
upstairs and claims the connection is not fast enough and not as
fast as his brothers.
Do i need to forget about wireless and run another cat5?
Both of these computers are within 50 feet of the router.
All 3 computers are up to date. Do i need a new router?
Is wireless capable of the speeds of a direct connect?
thank's
Rich
