========================================================
From: "Glenn Meadows" <gmeadow@comcast.net>

Cause then I'd have to run 2 wires back to Andrew's bedroom for his Xbox and
the computer in his room, or get wireless for those 2 devices.  More wires
initially.

His room has the cable modem, then the D-Link router runs 2 wired feeds to his
computer, and his X-Box.  My laptop runs Wireless around the apartment.
