If your using a router wirelessly make sure its password protected.

Yep...I have one about that length. Bought it from PCW IIRC

Bought it so that I could connect either my Linux lappys at 'set up', without being next to the router ...... or when I was installing a new o/s on one of my pal's machines.

No problem,get a 10 metre one,they are quite cheap.Even get them 100m if required.I have heard of cases where cables have been run from house down the garden into workshops etc where wi-fi is poor

Can pick a 10m one up for not much more than £2 on Amazon

You can ping a website which is located in the UK, like the bbc and calculate.
