Ok so after years and years I finally have the need to get a basic home network going. First off all I have currently is a Time Warner Cable Modem connected to my PC in my room. I have a second PC out in an office area for my wife that needs internet access now. (wired is not possible)
I am also having smart phone internet connection issues here at the house, and would rather connect via WiFi with the phones for a better connection when needed. On top of that, I am also planning on getting a Popcorn Hour c-200 NMT and this will be in the room with my PC and I would want that hard wired along with the PC still.
So, now that you see the need for the wired and wireless access, what all do I need to be looking into getting?
I don't fully understand the networking stuff, wireless g/n/etc. From what research I have done, n is the best and fastest?
What I believe I need at this time is the following, and please correct me if I am wrong and need to delete, or add some things!
1 Wireless-n Router w/ Switch (4port i guess)
1 Wireless-n USB Adapter
Some Cat5 Cable
And as far as hook-up, it would go modem>router>hardwire to PC and popcorn hour through the back ports on router? Wireless adapter on PC on other side of house?
This is what I have been looking at purchasing as well so far:
