Please log in for more thread options I've just switched to comcast high speed internet. They didn't tell me over the phone that I would need a router to connect wirelessly through my laptop (which I was doing with the other provider). My neighbor gave me her linksys router but I have no idea how to connect this thing and get it up and running on my laptop. Can anyone walk me through it? My laptop is wireless capable so I don't need to do anything to *it*. I'm a little aggravated that they didn't tell me this when I signed on for the bundle they offer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
