DS. If getting a network cable from the basement to an area for an upper floor router can't be done easily another possibility is to use the wired electrical outlets to carry the network signal. This will probably be especially golden if there are outlets upstairs on the same circuit as the basement that you can use.

Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Hire out you cheap lawyer bastard. Tell Comcast / Road Runner where you want the shit and be done with it.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

So, I plug an Ethernet cable into one of those from the modem then plug one of those in the wall elsewhere and run an Ethernet cable from it to a router? can I set up multiple routers with the same IP address with that so I can have identical coverage throughout the house?

congratulations ATM - you broke his brain

yes, but you can't just plug them up and they work that way. You'll have to configure them thru their browser interface. In the words of Run DMC......It's Tricky

Our "cable" guy (really fiber optic guy) set the "modem" (whatever you call the thing that runs the FO) downstairs in the backroom and ran a CAT5 to the router upstairs. That way my son's laptop in the backroom downstairs works without wireless and everything else runs on the wireless network. I asked about multiple routers and got the same reply eCat just gave: It's tricky.

Because you've had to do too much work over that stretch of not getting on here?

This board is as good as any to say this. Happy Thanksgiving Goatpen. May you all have a great weekend.
