    Wirless Alternative
    « on: May 05, 2009, 04:01:05 PM »
    I have a HP computer running windows Vista 500GB hard drive and 3GB of ram I have verizon Internet service. I have Verizon DSL I just moved my computer out into my living room and hooked it up to my TV. I dont  have internet out in my living room tho because I'm not close enough to a phone jack. Is their a way I could use a wireless internet card and some sort of router to pick up a signal to my computer in my living room?

    Verizon DSL service should offer a wireless DSL router.

    It doesn't say anything about router.
    I asked, because I wasn't aware of any ISP giving away free routers, and I though, you knew :)

    You are right! Thank you for reading that., I just look at pictures and I thought I saw a wireless router. Somewhere else they tell you the you get a wireless router with the upper level plan. Too much for me.  :(

      You can contact Verizon and ask which is the best router that will work with their system. They may give you a hard time, but they will give you the information. Than you can purchase one at your local store.

      I had to do that with Comcast. Their routers are expensive, but the router I had didn't work with their system.

        Oh, they do?

        yes...one of the business I support has a router provoded by them and it has BOTH wired AND wireless...I got it hooked up wired in the outside office(where the router is mounted)
        and wireless to the back office to 2 different machines...!!!

        opps...sorry may have spoke too soon...that business is FIOS NOT DSL....sorry

        but on checking more...it appears they provide wireless dsl also, see here
