IxI SoNiK IxI Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) so is the non wireless router better?/ bc my comp and my sis comp is right next to each other.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> y not jus get a splitter for the cable, no need for wireless if the pc.s are next to each other wireless saves the hassle of dealing with wires all over the place..

Jjangthekid Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 (edited) another question gryph or anybody else, how does the splitter cable work compared to the router? so if I get the cable splitter, would I have the same internet speed as the computer that is directly connected to the cable modem?. and also could anybody recommend me on getting a good cable splitter? thanks.

OverlordMondo Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Oops, forgot about this after my router permanently screwed over my old computer. It's working on the new one (YES!), but I must continue to push for cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmvogel Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I don't think wirelss internet is that bad. Sure it may occasionally go down (like when I'm piggybacking off someone else) but the speed is decent and streaming works well too. That's why I'm getting a laptop...for the free wireless lan at home and school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
