    Yes, I am wireless. But been thinking tonight, on how to get wired. I need to think this smart because the modem is in the living room, and that's two rooms over from my current room. And I am expecting a newborn within a few weeks. I can't have cords all over the place. lol

    Also, I am not sure if I can even go wired. On my ISP account it says Wireless Interface. And Wireless: Enabled. However, there are areas in the modem that I can attach ethernet plug. Sorry, I am not tech savvy when it comes to this. But, if my account says that, is it still possible to go wired?

    They probably picked the current location because originally it was for NA *AND* EU servers. Moving the EU servers actually to EU wasn't until a further 2 years later and having multiple data centres originally would likely have been a massive cost they probably didn't want to spend on a game that (as of 2.0 launch) had already cost them so much with so little back.

    Take a look into "Powerline" adapters as they might be an option for you (they're common in Europe and I assume you have them in NA too!). Essentially you plug them in to your electrical wall sockets, one in each room and they use the electricity cables in the walls to carry the signal for you. You then only have to have a small piece of actual wiring each end (computer to wall and wall to router).

    Yeah all modems should have a wired port in as standard. what you could do if you have a telephone port up stairs is to connect your modem to that so it can be closer to your set up or even in the room it self.
