I need some ethernet cables between my computer room and the TV room.
The easiest way is to run the cable in the crawlspace and then up

Bob: I'm sure you have a specific reason for hardwire. I'm really just
curious what you're getting over wireless that makes it worth it.



Wired is still /way/ faster than wireless.

Are there also really security issues [maybe with *some* network
software? ] My wife's job supplies her with a laptop. The
hardwired net connection is the only way she can link to the work
computers from home.

Are they just saving on having a wireless modem-- or is there really a
security concern?

Jim

Can be, but more likely a speed issue. Probably running a VPN, and they
don't work worth squat over wireless. Can't remember if they can be
config'd to lock out home wireless, or it could be it is just timing out
when she tries.
