Going wireless without wireless

Sitting down confortable kiddies? Good then I will begin. In a galaxy far, far, far, away........
First I had a Commordore Vic 20, then I had this even older looking computer which could go on a 80s network but not the Internet as it wasn't even inveented then. Then I had my parents really old 90s computer and I just played couple of games including Wolferstein 3D on it. Then I had a slightly new old computer which I could finally go onto the internet but on dialup couple of years ago.
Only 2 years ago, I had this computer I am on now and couple of months later I was on broadband. so far, so good. But because I bought a Xbox 360, which I bought for the intention of playing online, I had to buy a modem/router and a wireless adaptor for the PC. I have used the modem/router for about 4/5 months but couldn't put in the adaptor into the PC (or so I thought) as I was partially sighted and not confident of installing it without breaking it.
The PC and modem/router was connected to a filter upstiars in my front bedroom, which was connected to a phone extension wire, which was itself connected to another filter downstairs, in my lounge in the phone socket. The connection wasn't brilliant and often (not always) was disconnecting and then connecting again.
I decided to phone my ISP (Internet Serivce Provider) this morning and see if it's them or phone line or something else. I was told to try to put the adaptor in and the modem/router downstairs into the phone socket. So this afternoon, I did and guess what, it worked brilliantly and I have been on the PC and Xbox 360 all day excepet at tea time.
I just love going without any strings, or wires, or whatever.
Don't you?
