Recently I moved some stuff around in my kitchen. This is where my main computer is located and the move included the computer and all the associated peripherals. Two of the key peripherals are the cable modem and the router. I had coaxial cable running up through the floor at the computer's old location but the connector was to large to be pulled back through the hole.
Out came the drill to make a larger hole right next to the existing hole. In hind sight this was a bad idea. I nicked the coaxial cable when I drilled the new hole. Whoops.
After reconnecting everything in the new location the Internet connection was a bit unreliable. I attributed the issue to the nicked cable. Darn it! I moved the modem and router to the basement and connected to the cable down there. The PS3 [which is located in the basement] is now connected to the router by Cat5 cable instead of via wireless. The main computer is now connected by wireless and my daughter is without Internet on her computer that is in her room. Sorry missy.
