Hey guys,
I have internet by cable here at home (5mb) and I was thinking to put Wifi. THe problem is, if I put WIFI will the internet get slower? I have kinda of a big house so will it get slow in some places? If so, how slower?
Don't ask me to google it, if I'm asking here I have my reasons. o.o

Wifi is always slower than cable.
Correct me if I'm wrong

Not very much..Probably only about 20% taken away at most.. Then again I dont know the most about this kind of stuff. It also depends on what kind of wireless router you buy.

Usually the only way you'll notice a difference is if you move away from the signal source. I run my WiFi on many machines and I don't notice a drop unless I change my location. Also take into account network bandwidth as this will affect your speed as well.

It will not slow too much. The farther away you get and how many walls that are in the way are also big factors.
