Well, I wouldn't say I am a total newb but I know NOTHING about routers. I am looking for a recommendation....my situation:
I am moving into in laws house. They currently have one computer on the main floor with a high speed internet account. I am moving in and will have my computer in the basement, right below the main floor.
My questions are:
1. Should/can I get a wireless router? My current computer does not have a wireless card so if I go wireless I would have to get one. I would like my internet fairly fast but I do not do *much* large downloading. I watch videos and surf the web. Would a regular "hard line" be better? Just run a cable to my comp? Or would wireless work fine?
2. What router would everyone recommend? I have someone to kinda help me set it up but I'd like anything that works well and fairly easy to install.
Thank you very much.
