-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Computing in the garage..

the only part of this that I can answer is what I have - I'm sure someone can 
help though! my son would know... 
He set us up, and I have a wire that has an end that looks like what you'd plug 
into a phone - that plugs into the back of the router - and plugs into my 
computer - that's all that I need to do. 
I - a friend actually did it - bought a wire at radio shack (what a rip off) 
for her daughter at college. we did the same - plugged one end into the router 
and the other into her computer. worked great! they couldn't bypass the other 
kids password to hook up wireless - wired, it eliminated the need for his 
password.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Computing in the garage..

Hello all,
     We currently have two desktops "being fed by blue wire" from the router, 
and two laptops that are wireless. However, whenever we use either laptop in 
the garage, they indicate the signal strength is low or very low. The garage 
is about 50 feet from the router, and the walls are the older thicker, plaster, 
or mortar style.
     I'm thinking of running a cable from the router, out to the garage.
Is the blue cable called a CAT5?

Does anyone have a link with instructions on how to attach the end tips to 
the cable?

Are there any additional software setup steps needed for the laptops when 
they are connected via cable instead of wireless?

Thanks,

HB
