But wait, there's more...
Need a recommendation from the techie/IT gurus ... I have my computer in one room, and the DQ's pc in another and I want her to have internet access. When the PCs were all in the family room, I used the cables (ethernet, I think -- they are the LAN-types we have in our offices) from the modem to share access, but I've since moved the computers upstairs and to separate rooms. I have GMP cable internet, if that's of any importance.
My question is this: Since she has cable that runs to her bedroom, should I just buy another cable modem for her (and if so, will GMP allow access, as this would -- I heard -- assign a separate IP address to her PC); or, should I buy a wireless modem to replace my current modem, and get one of those wireless network thingamabobs for her pc to pick up the internet signal?
The modem I have now is only 6 months old, and I'd hate to have to replace it already for this (if it'd be more cost effective and feasible to just buy another cable modem for her, compared to the cost of a wireless network setup). It seems to me (after a quick look in BestBuy) that a wireless modem and card would be more expensive than just buying another modem (if that is an option).
Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated! I'd like to tackle this and get it done this weekend if possible.
Thanks, in advance!
