Re: Wireless router in loft?
In a word, yes.

However, you might find the signal is weak, depending on the age of the house etc.

Plus, with your parents getting on a bit, they won't want to be going up to reset the router all the time. I find wireless routers tend to crash a fair amount. You are better off running a long ethernet cable if you want it to be very reliable and fast. If they have 20Mbps (I assume they won't) then they will definately need a cable to get the best out of it. Wireless b/g just can't cope with the throughput.
