[dba-Tech] modem/router

Cable modem brings the cable into the structure.  Attach the wireless
router to the cable modem with Cat 5 or 6 cable.  Then set up the
wireless network by using the setup software for the router.  Be sure to
use at least WEP and preferably WAP so your wireless network is secure.

It's cable internet and I think we need the modem, but maybe we don't?
We're just trying to hook up other computers.

We had a wireless setup several years ago that worked really well, but i
don't remember if the modem was "special" or what -- I don't remember
anything about the hardware.

Also, how does wireless handle stories? This house has two floors.
