My router's downstairs. I need fast internet in my bedroom because I got a new gaming computer. Ideas?

Question

I've built my own gaming computer and everything is top notch. The only thing I'm stuck on is my internet connection. My dad's technician told me that I should use a wireless router and connect to my computer using a LAN cable to connect with the LAN port on the router. What should I do?

Answer 1

A direct connection is always best. Run a wire from your bedroom to the router on the main computer and there you go.

Answer 2

You're ideal way is to run a lan cable from the router to the PC. You don't need wireless unless any other computers will connect wirelessly.

Answer 3

If you can run a Cat 5 cable upstairs, that will give you the fastest, most reliable performance. Otherwise, you can look into getting a wireless range extender, like this one:

Ubuntu, you shouldn't answer questions that you don't understand (insert rolling eyes here).
