This will be my first wireless network and I have some questions. First of all my setup: I have one PC with broadband internet on the 2nd floor of my house. I have 2 PC's in the basement (2 stories down), and those two are on a wired 10/100 connection. I want to share my upstairs PC's internet to just ONE of the PC's downstairs, that is already on a network.
1. Linksys is the best for range right?
2. Would it be best to use the setup I've seen this guy mention earlier, a 802.11b Wireless router with a signal booster, being recieved by a PCI 802.11b card in the basement. B/c I think range is the issue, and 802.11g doesn't have a signal booster (in the U.S.)
3. Would I be o.k. running a 2nd network with the PC downstairs? It's already running a 10/100, would there be a conflict by adding a second network?
4. Finally, would a boosted 802.11b give me enough bandwidth to play multiplayer games?
Keep in mind I have an old house with some plaster, and the signal must go though two floors, any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks!
