Would this solution give me just about the same strength as the direct access with the modem?

I have 3 pcs connected through a router, using optonline. &nbsp;I need to move 1 of the pcs, but the wireless connection won't reach to the new location. &nbsp;Optonline is telling me that even with my own new cable modem, they won't activate it without charging a 2nd monthly fee of $50!!! That makes no sense at all - there is no increased bandwith use on our part - just need a modem to reach what we were already getting with a wireless connection. &nbsp;What to do?

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
