Bottom line I bought a big TV. It takes up to much space so I am forced to move my computer desk. I have no available cable jacks to connect my modem too.

Is there any kind of wireless setup that I can upgrade to?

(Where I get a signal splitter and connect the modem by the tv and connect the modem to a wireless router?)

thanks

I have a wireless router for that exact reason.

I have my cable modem and wireless router behind my TV. My PC and my laptop both have wireless cards in them. It works great and you will not have a problem with speed either.

can you use a wireless router for connecting cable to a television, rather than a computer? my dad had to string cable under the carpet to a bedroom, from a split line
