I happen to have a 2nd router sitting there, so no costs involved. (it is not an option to run a really long ethernet cable to my PC, which would be the ideal solution).
Question 2 If I do this, does it halve the line speed to my wireless router when my PC router is turned on? and vice versa. Question 3 Or does this happen anyway when two peole are logged on to my existing modem (1 by ethernet and 1 by wireless)
