Let me start by saying I'm not the brightest bulb when to comes to this high tech stuff that many of you take as second nature. That said, how difficult will it be to add a second computer in my home?
My present setup is a two year old Gateway, connected to the outside via a cable modem with ATT. I have a NetGear Gateway Router, RT314. My home office is located adjacent to my daughter's room, which is where the second computer will be.
Is it a simple matter of running the cable from the back of the router, through the wall, and into the new 'puter?
What about these new wireless networks I'm hearing about? Are they any good? Or are there any drawbacks with that type of setup? Sure sounds like a good way to go: no walls to drill through, no wires, etc.
