hey all,
i posted a similar msg yesterday but i now have a different question...
i have 3 pc's throughout my house and i want to have them connect to our fiber line thru a router. if i go w/ the 10/100 connection i'll probably go w/ a router like this:

would this still limit the bandwidth of my fiber line going to the other pc's in my house?
now after thinking about it more, i want to prevent drilling holes and hacking walls just get this right so i was thiking wireless. here's the one i was looking at:
http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=DI-713P
now would a "not so savy" computer person (such as I) be able to get this working right? also, what would i need to plug into the pc's to be able to communicate w/ the router (i didn't see anything on the site about that)? ANOTHER also... how strong is the signal? i have a 3500 sqft, 2-story home and the 3pc's will be basically spread out throughout the upstairs while the router will be either downstairs in the garage or in my wife's office, also downstairs.
thanks!
