if anyone is getting a super long cable run to them, it's going to be my mom

I'm not entirely sure *how* many walls it's actually going through. it's mostly doorways, but then again, signals aren't smart enough to go through doorways. Possibly three walls and maybe a refrigerator. I'm pretty sure this is part of the problem, because if she stands in the doorway of her laptoppin' room, she can almost always get a signal I have no idea what the walls are made out of. I think they're mostly just panelling on two by fours.

My dad's computer also uses the signal from the router, and it's just one room and one wall away, so the router is definitely staying closer to this side of the house xD

the setup from phone jack to router is jack, cable, adsl modem, cable router
