Title: Using Routers
Post by: bluessmith on May 14, 2007, 07:46:13 AM

Hello dear helpers,

I have "verizon"  and my girl friend is going to move in with me and she has "comcast".....

I am going to get a wireless router to give her access to the internet...

(My question is)---will she have to cancell her COMCAST and suscribe to VERIZON...

How will this transaction work?

Sincerely,

Bluessmith

Not if you get a router. Just cancel hers and keep yours.

If she has a COMCAST email address, she'll need to give that up but, otherwise, no need to have two separate ISPs.

Hello again friendly people....

While on the subject of routers - have any of you who use wireless routers any advice for those of us about to use one?

Thank you very much,

Have a professional install it if you're not up to date with wireless security, installing drivers or installing hardware.

Use cables.

I hate the wireless Hub at work.  And it hates me.
