Wired or Wireless

[SteveSxx]

See Question http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology-and- Science/Internet/Question307889.html

Should I connect my main PC to the router using cable or wireless ?
Distance about 20metres (through walls and floor)

Wires are always better, so if you can do it without it being a mess running along the floor (unless you're ok with that?), then wires are the way to go. Else, wireless.

Whichever you decide to use, you will initially need to set the modem/router up using a wired connection.
Having done this successfully, you can then connect through wirelessly which is the reason for buying this model.
If you had intended using a completely wired system then we would have recommended an alternative cheaper router

Sorry - I didn't explain better - I have a Main PC and a couple of laptops (wireless)
I just wondered about the length of cable that I could use between the Router and main PC (Should I place the router downstairs where the phone socket is or should I place it closer to the PC (upstairs) ?)

[fo3nix]

You should place the wireless router as close to the center of the house as possible, if you plan to use your laptops all over the house.

Ideally it'll be next to the PC since that's easier for you when setting it up, as dodgyshirt says.

Thanks for all the advice chaps (and chapesses ?)
