Friend of mine wants to put 2 computers in separate rooms. He is on cable (his ISP is Optus in Australia). Wants to know what he needs to have both on cable. His ISP does not support such but suggested he contact a third party... Some router is needed no? One of his computers is connected to cable via his ethernet connection with what looks like "a larger version of a telephone connector"
Would someone kindly remind me what is needed?
He needs to get a cable/dsl router, connect the cable to that, and his computers via ethernet cables to the router, which typically comes with 4 ports.
Something like this: <http://www.netgear.com/products/prod_details.asp?prodID=131&view=hm>
Linksys, Asante and D-Link make similar devices, among many others.
Look for one configured via a web browser (nearly all of them are) as those tend to be system agnostic.
