I am trying to convince the head of the house to run ethernet through the walls. How would we go about doing that..any tutorials? Do we get Cat5..6..Z? Also what other hardware do we need?

Ok thank you. As for the holes...its not my house, it's my father's. Rather than coughing up the extra 10k or so to live on campus at my college, I'm staying at home (I only live 20-30 min away by subway). MY father would kick my butt if i did that...however I will be have a meeting with him...

Obviously, but for me, that is not an option. my desktop is nowhere near a router nor can i drill holes in the wall to do it.

All the usual reasons why a consumer would use it. But if it wouldn't help normal usage why do every day consumers even buy it? What is the point of a gamer buy a 200 dollar DLINK gaming router with dual band if it doesn't help them. side note: when i use g mode...for some reason my...

what if i bought a good n router, attached it to my modem as a different SSID, and attached a G router to it, and keep it the old SSID that way i can be n and the g'ers can have their own.

So then why do people buy wireless n? When i use G everything is so much slower. I just want a really strong N router, i have no interest in 5GHZ.

I do not understand what you mean by "without an expensive extremely fast link from an ISP and no network hosts running similar speeds, whats the point?

I can't do this anymore...do i have to bend over backwards? Ever since the move (2 years ago) to wireless n my wireless life has been a nightmare. Every router i get i am lucky to keep my 108Mbps. Don't get me wrong i have get 300 every now and then but my connection eventually drops. Right...
