I want to move PC upstairs but modem is downstairs what would be recommended at affordable price?

1) Move modem upstairs.

2) Run Ethernet cable Upstairs.

3) Wireless, OK, it will be slower, More vulnerable, But convenient.

My suggestion would be to get a Wireless-G router, and a wireless adapter (card or USB). You could probably accomplish this for under $100. It can be made fairly secure, and you may not notice any difference in speed with a slower DSL connection. I have no speed issues whatsoever with my wireless laptop.
Good luck.

I have g router bought it today but hpow does it work cause it got to be connected to the computer.. I don't get it .what do I need to buy?

I thought you may have a phone line upstairs? Guess not. Doesn't get cheaper than free.
Just carry Computer and filter, plug into upstair phone. If you wanted to be portable or use more than 1 Computer, Use a Router. If it is just upstairs. Phone line in most rooms
I see. If You do plan on future growth, and Up to learning, and have a little spare time, Get a router.
Since you got one, They are convient, I've got one, Wireless N for about 6 months, works great, Against better advice. Still a draft. Not fully accepted.
Linksys has great learning tools, and they are helpful. What Make and Model?
Do you have a phone line upstairs?
