Now that
is something to consider. We don't do a ton on our family network, but it is definitely a boon to be able to print wirelessly. Drat, lol. I thought the digital age was supposed to simplify my life.
In light of that then, I will hold off on any modem purchase for now. In the spirit of experimentation though I'll hook up our cable modem from downstairs and try that out in my room tonight.
It makes me curious - I can't be the only one with networking situations that aren't exactly conducive to cat5 wires laying all around the house. How do you fellas handle your wired/router scenarios in your homes?
