Ummm... me! :Q I moved up a little on that corporate ladder and just haven't been able to participate in the forums for a while. Apparently, I've missed a bunch of stuff! (of wombats flossing, Fiddle and Gixer singin' the blues etc etc etc.)
Yeah, yeah, I know, I can hear Russ say it now: "who cares that your back, why do you have to announce it?" 😉 Well, I actually have a question...
I'm trying to get my parent's computers networked. The computers are about 60 Meters (about 180 Ft) from each other, with concrete walls in between. The 'cleanest' way to get them connected would be wireless, but I haven't seen anything even remotely cost effective be able to network through walls across that distance. What's the latest scoop on that?
I know theoretically CAT5 cables can go a pretty good distance without signal loss, but what's a good 'real world' rule of thumb to go with as far as rolling out long cat5 ethernet cables?
Glad to be back at the forums! 😀
