Spent yesterday reorganizing the dining room into a cyberschool room. Two school issued computers all set up with workspace.
I don't know enough about computers to understand why, but these things don;t work with a wireless network, so they each came with 40ft of wire to connect to the router.
a) it's not long enough.
b) I don't really want 2 40+ ft wires strung across/around the rooms.

I was planning to call tech support tomorrow to ask for a longer length of wire and hopefully some kind of splitter or something (pulling this out of my ass) so that one wire would hook up to 2 computers. Or maybe there's something that will make them work wirelessly?
Also, they only sent one printer/scanner and one cord that hooks into one computer. I guess they'll have to keep swapping the cord out? Lots of their work will be submitter by scanner/attachment.
