Running cable is not a real project. Just run it anywhere it fits or there is a hole. No hole? … make one. Option #2 put the cable modem on the side of the house where you need the speed most… wireless to other side… basically swap sides on what you have now Option#3 for the future, buy Wireless “N” equipment. Significant range improvement. G blows. ---

Alright so I took a closer look at everything today. I did some measuring and there is no where that I have a pre existing hole to even try to start from. The way the heating ducts are run is different than I had anticipated so I am going to have to go wireless…at least for now. So here is my new question…Wireless N or Wireless G ?? ---

faster, next step protocol, newest standard, blah blag blah. What more insight do you need? That is akin to asking if you should go Pentium IV versus Pentium Dual Core. :gotme: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/home-network-options/41966.md?page=1)
