New to DSL.
Here is what I have, tell me what I need.
Two rooms, two computers. New Vista Dell working great w/Verizon DSL modem. Old computer has a Ethernet plug w/ led on it but no installed modem except v92 56k...whatever.
In addition to the DSL modem, I have a wireless G router sitting in a box.
So, my options seem to be...
25 foot ethernet cable? To go from router/DSL modem on new computer to old computer, game over.
Another DSL modem?
A wireless USB...a better investment since I already have a modem and router, I can use it in the future and I don't need a perfect connection on the old computer, wireless is ok.
Which is best or cheapest?
