How do I go about setting this up?
I would like to move my computers to the basement, while the modem/router is fixed on the floor above.
The modem/router I got from my ISP has plenty of ports but I don't wanna run 2-3 ethernet cables to the basement. I would like to run 1 cable and perhaps set up a wallmount or something like that. Ideally I would like something like this if possible:
Otherwise I've been told that I will either need an ethernet switch, or I add wireless adapters to my computers.
Now as for the ethernet switch, will it slow down my internet connection? As far as I know, it only uses 1 of the modem/router ports and splits it off to multiple others, wouldn't that slow it down?
And for wireless, do you guys have any recommendations for reliable adapters?
Thanks in advance!
