Topic	Wi-fi VS Ethernet via wireless router VS Ethernet via Powerline adap
CommonStar 12/08/21 10:45:18 AM #7:	discodancer77 posted... Maybe Im overcomplicating things because Im just uneducated on this stuff. Does a router need to be physically connected to the Modem/Wall internet? Can I just buy a router and place it near my PC, without there being a physical cable connecting this router with the Modem? And have it be connected wirelessly to the Modem? Is there any noticeable drop in speed/quality? Well, with wifi there will always be a noticable drop in speed/quality because it isn't a direct line. But I guess the best option but pretty expensive is to buy two routers. One to hook up directly to the modem and bridge wirelessly to the other router placed in your room which you then connect to your pc via ethernet cable. You'll still get wifi speeds though. Your overall performance will depend on your slowest device. <cite>CommonStar posted [p:960727158] in Wi-fi VS E...
