steve300, youre right about buying a router because today i just called this morning to sbc dsl tech support center and they said the box i had that connected to my desktop could only do one connection. the box my friend had could do it because it could handle two locations for the internet source especially since she got the expensive one..haha figures.
so i dont know which router to buy or what will work/be compatiable with my computer. i have a hp dv6000t, and could someone explain how a router works? and do i leave anywhere in the house and i can get internet anywhere? and when i buy it do, i have to insert anything in my computer? and.. most importantly, what/which can of brand of a router should i buy? because i want it to be compatiable w/ my hp dvt6000t windows vista laptop. i heard linksys is good but i have no idea which one to get! this is all so new to me. |
