I am seeking trying to determine if cable broadband might work for me.
Right now I have Qwest DSL but the connection is not very fast. I live
in an apartment and have cable TV already in the living room, so I have
a cable outlet in the living room. The problem is I have a desktop
computer in the master bedroom and that room does not have a cable
outlet, and the cable company says they won't install an outlet in the
master bedroom. I'm wondering if I can use the cable outlet in the
living room, with a splitter for the TV as well, and just use wireless
throughout the apartment without having any computer directly connected
to the internet cable. In other words, can I use a router for wireless
connected to the cable outlet in the living room and just use my
computers with wireless connections, or must the computer in the living
room be connected direct to the cable internet connection? I'd like to
be able to make a completely wireless connection and have the benefit
of the faster cable internet connection, but not if the Ethernet cable
must be connected to one of the computers. I hope I am making myself
clear. Any help you can provide will be much appreciated. Thank you.
