Due to an expanding family, Im moving my "office" to a different room of the house Ive been remodeling. I currently have Time Warner Road Runner cable internet, and Im happy with it. I also have Time Warner digital phone, which runs though the cable as well.
My issue is my old 'office', soon to be my son's new room, is the the room where I have my computer and of course my cable internet modem. The phone line also runs off of this modem, so all of the wiring associated with the cable internet, and phone runs to this unit. Maybe you see where Im going with this.
My new office does not have any cable or phone lines in it, so I would have to run all new lines to feed the modem and phone lines. Im at a point where I can probably do this (drywall just getting ready to be finished, so I can pull 1 sheet down if need be).
What Ive been pondering is just putting in a wireless network. Leaving the cable modem in my sons room (probably behind a book shelf), and adding a wireless card to my computer. At some point my wife is getting a laptop with wireless as well, so I was going to add a wireless network anyway, just wasn't planning to have my main computer on it.
So what say you? Will I loose anything go from a wired connection to a wireless setup?? The distance is small, maybe 40 or 50 feet. I guess the thing Im most worried about is loosing speed more than anything.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Clay
