Ethernet
My question is that I have my router in my basement and I want to get internet access on my third floor and I'm not sure how. Wireless singlas can't get through our floors so I either have to run a cord all the way through my house or use a phone jack thats up there already.
If I were to use the phone jack I would have to get a phone cord to ethernet adaptor and plug that into my computer, but would or would not this get dial-up internet. Basically do I have to connect to my router to get high speed internet?

Re: Ethernet
So run the cables to the second floor and use a wireless router. That's what I did and my Ethernet is working properly. Trust me running wires sucks, I've already done it.
Let me know what happens.

Re: Ethernet
Unfortunately that will not work.
But are you sure the wireless wont reach, or are you just guessing? Because I also have a computer in my basement and I'm upstairs, and i get wireless down to the basement fine.

Re: Ethernet
if it is true you cant get the internet through the floors you will have to run cables and it really does suck but atleast you dont have to go under the house that sucks even worse

Re: Ethernet
The 2nd one. The 1st one works fine, but its a pain in the ass to have to run a 50foot cord through your house, which was why wireless was made.

Re: Ethernet
It usually comes built in laptops, but you can buy a router and wireless card so your PC can get wireless access to your internet.

Re: Ethernet
Try using powerline networking. http://www.d-link.ca/products/?pid=533&sec=2 It uses your house electrical system as the wires to transmitt your signal for networking with other computers. The signal is a lot cleaner then Wireless.
