    Hey. Just a question about wireless. I currently have eircom wireless broadband. I have the wireless router downstairs. It works fine except there is one pc up in my room out of range. I can't actually put the router anywhere else. Now I want to know if I buy a new router for my PC will I be able to get it online by plugging it into the phone line up there while the netopia router works downstairs on the same connection?

    No you cannot have two routers on the one connection they will 'short circuit' each other. Have you tried locating the router upstairs? Sometimes a higher location can work better.
