Now, I've been on dial-up since I had my own home computer, which would be about 4 years now, and finally, I will be getting cable internet before the year is over.
I was just wondering what to expect, how everything generally gets set up, because I honestly can't say I know exactly what I'll be doing.
I know I'll have to hook the cable line into a modem, but from there, I'm pretty much lost. The cable line is about 30-40 feet away in the other room, which makes me wonder if it'd be necessary to get a wireless router, and how would I go about setting THAT up. Then how do I still get the cable hooked up to the television if it's connected to the modem?
If anyone would be so kind as to let me in on how this is all going to work, that'd be great.
I know computers fairly well, so I'll understand explanations; but since I've only been exposed to dial-up personally, I'm clueless.
Thanks.
