for those of you eho have it, how is the woreless connection vs. a cabled connection?
I'm moving soon, and I plan to network the house as much as possible. Right now, I don't see the PC and my XBOX/PS2 being in the same room, in factm they'll be pretty far apart. Should I go ahead and use cableing, or would a wireless router work best?
I've thought of splicing the cable internet feed and running a line up to the living room, but I really don't wanna splice coax - it can diminish my speed, and as it is I don't know how fast I'll be moving once I get it hooked up there (right now I'm at the cap, but a different neighborhood might give different results).
I don't mind running cables, I'd do it within the walls with faceplates, the whole 9 yards - but obviously wireless is a lot easier and cleaner. Opinions?
