Hello,
I have a cable modem connection thru roadrunner. I wish to more my work station and am tired of the wires. I want to take advantage of the broadband all I can so any recommendations are helpfull. My house is only 60 ft in lenght and would like to be able to receive anywhere in the house even though the router will need to go through walls. the walls are drywall standard. any help would be appreciated. E-mail; jumpingjoeusa@lycos.com thank you
