Okay well first off, let me say that I know next to nothing about internet connections and routers and all that. Basically, my family has a computer on the main floor of our house which has a wired internet connection, and i recently bought a computer that is in my room, which is on the upper floor of our house. We have a 2 wire 2700 hg e router on our main computer, and I was wondering what I will need to buy to get internet on my computer, as well as how to do it. My computer is going to be mostly for gaming, is it a bad idea to go wireless for that? Will I not get as good of a connection as opposed to having gone wired? And is there any way for me to get wired internet in my room?
I really have no idea how any of this works, so please try to bare with me on this. Thanks.
Edit: Oh, and I was reading about wired connections on multiple computers in different rooms here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/wired.mspx
And it says I can just buy a wall plugged network extender kit, plug one of the wall mounts into an outlet by my main computer and connect it to the router there, and then plug another one into the outlet in my room and connect that to another router and I'll be able to get wired internet that way. How well does this work and is it a possibility?
