I have a router in my brothers room. I am running a ethernet cord from my room into his so I can have internet access. Is there something I can get for my computer so I do not have to run the cord.

I havnt ever bought a wireless router before. I am using a router/modem my iternet service provider connected for me, but i want a wireless one to connect a xbox 360 too and othe laptops. I am looking at getting a Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless N Router – Recertified, 300Mbps, 802.11n, 4-Port. Can a router expert tell me if this is a good choice? here is the specifications-Specifications

Let me know if this would be a good buy?

I hardly know about internet and i am about to start a wireless connection. I want it for my house (not company etc). I have found one modem-router (Netgear DGN2000 Wireless Modem Router Annex A (270Mbps)) but will it have a strong signal that will cover the whole apartment without problems? Any help would be appreciated…or any other suggestions about modem routers etc…

Thank you!

My router is located at point A roughly 15 feet from the wall of which on the other side resides my tv/xbox 360 setup. How do I go about using my router’s wifi to another wifi device to direct connect via ethernet cat5? Can’t I just buy another router and use my FIOS router’s wifi to have internet connectivity to my XBOX 360?

I have the Boson one and it is so horrible.

Now to some of you… that looks kinda garbage… but to me that’s like an unrealistic upgrade… and im not gonna build my own computer yet… im gonna build my own computer later on for college and shit… so yeah. but what do you guys think? any suggestions on what i should buy with it to enhance performance?

it doesnt come with a monitor so anyone know any good monitors i could buy? flatscreen

Hi, I am supposed to be buying a computer for work. Unfortunately I don’t really know what I am looking for, I tried to build one on Dell, but I ended up confusing myself. So if anyone has a minute and could help me out, I’d be very grateful
The requirement I need are:
3GHz processor,
512 MB RAM, 80 Gig hard drive
56K Modem,
1000 mbps Ethernet nerwork card,
and a 250 MB Zip or Flash drive.

Thanks!

I have the wireless box II and it’s adsl 2+ broadband I have but I only connect at 2.5mbps, would buying a more expensive router give me faster connection? and if so what kind should I buy?

I finally figured out how I plan to connect my Xbox to the internet, but I need a really long ethernet cable to do so. I have heard that their are several types of ethernet cables, so I was wondering what type should be used for online gaming? Will the ones at typical departmant stores suffice?

i want to know do i need a dsl modem because only thing i got is a telephony modem and a regular modem

At the same time i want to play xbox live and be on the internet on my computer, will this not work because i need two separate IP adresses?
How much does an Ethernet spliter cost?
What will work if an ethermnet splitter doesn’t?
