Blue_Ninja0 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 20m? Isn't it easier to get a wireless network running there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 20m? Isn't it easier to get a wireless network running there? Cable > wireless And I think that some USB dongles would not work very well on that distance. And then there's the security issue. And the cost and effort are smaller with cable. You just buy the cable, plug it into the router and you're connected. For wireless you would have to worry about SSID's, WEP/WPA etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
