Hi all'

First timer. I need some info on routers. Here is the scenario:
I have my cable connection in my house. My office is in my garage which is about 100 feet from my house. I am completely green when it comes to this stuff, so all suggestions greatly appreciated.

running windows xp sp2 on both computers. Will need to put a PCI wireless card in the office computer.

Thanks in advance

Tony

Depending on if you have siding on your house you may want to actually just throw another CAT5/6 over. May be an eyesore depending on how you want to make that connection work. If your lucky you might be able to get away with it by using a repeater, but then again you would experience more lag than you would a wired connection.
