    I want to buy 2 very beginning computers for my grandkids 5 & 6. I am considering Acer AZ1620-ur31p all in ones. I know these are really basic but that's a good place for their age to start I think.

    Can 2 of these be converted by a Geek squad type professional so they can have them in two seperate rooms in their home on a wireless network? They use Comcast cable for internet for their one computer and want to continue to use comcast with a wirless network set up by a Geek squad person.

    Thanks for the answers

    yep, but you'd also need to buy a router.

    Internet > cable modem > Wireless router > 2 or more laptops
