| 765072 | 2009-04-14 14:19:00 | I am shifting house and I intend to use the Telstraclear cable network for TV and broadband plus telephone . As I will possibly have a problem getting a cable down an outside wall for the broadband connection I have been considering installing a wireless network . This arrangement may mean that the broadband modem and router could be installed behind the TV which already will have its own modem . This means that there will be a clutter of cables, etc . behind the TV . The question is "If I could find another location to terminate the two modems what is the maximum distance the modem can be from the TV set top box?" Second question "Is it s good idea to go to a wireless network using the latest N technology?" Thankyou |

| 765073 | 2009-04-14 21:48:00 | You can have the TV and broadband modems separated. My son's certainly are. Just tell the installers where you want them. Cable length is not really an issue. Are there TVs without a clutter of cables behind them? If there are, do they cost extra?? Going 'N' would be fine but make sure the PC/Laptop also have N hardware. |
