WRT54G Wireless router & USB adaptor or hardwire to modem?

The cable outlet in the "computer room" is dead. The tech said that it would be easier to buy a wireless router and USB adaptor, than to run a hard wire from the back of the house to the "computer room".

Isn't that funny. The tech said the exact same thing to my parents when they bought their computer- imagine that. (installation cost was "free") They bought the same exact Linksys router and a USB antennae. They have connection issues at times.

I'm no expert, but I think if you did some searching you'd find a wired connection is definitely better if the wire isn't an issue.

Of course it is easier to not have to pull cable, whether it is better or not is the question. I would try a while with a modem that worked before making any changes.
