WiFi Recommendations

[ChuckR]

I still recommend pci nics over usb.

If I had only 1 machine and it was in the same room, I would also consider nics. As it is, I believe WiFi will meet our needs. The CISCO unit from COX has 4 LAN ports so this should also meet the need for a phone in the living room. With only this modem I would have no need for a Router. My Motorola only has 1 Lan port so I needed the router for extra connections.

Err I tought you have built pcs before.

I had my current one built. I did a lot of digging, but not on every subject. Probably enough to ask almost the right questions. This is a new area and I was led to my conclusion by the bracket on the card.

Looked up the card and I probably could hook one up, but my wife's HP computer would be another problem I am sure.

At 73 I probably qualify as an adult, although second childhood seems to be approaching fast.

Your safe. Live in Nevada and they don't allow lawns.

Any suggestions on a video related to setting up my WiFi apartment?

Forget the Cisco DPC3825. It was a come on. You had to have certain services and hardware rental to qualify. Back to the TP-LINK devices.
I will see what I can find on Youtube.

 

[sdifox]

Tp-link firmware is pretty idiot proof. I just setup an archer c9 for my brother.

 

[XLer8or]

The USB devices I recommend is $25 each now. I have one TP-Link USB adapter for an older PC and have no latency issues at all playing retro games on the network. Be sure to use the extension cord that come with it to get away from pc as interference is bad for both pcie and USB.
