    Okay...Have a question. I want to make my internet at home wireless, but am not sure what to do. I have two options, 1. go through the phone company to get the router, no big deal, they are already my online provider. 2. Just buy the router and hook it up my self. One problem with the phone company is that they want a hundred dollars to do all this and I won't get the router for a week. As oppsed to just buying and doing it myself. Although I would have no idea how to set it up. So help me, what should I do?

    Buy the router yourself, at your local electronic store or online. Either way, you have more options to choice exactly waht you want. Setup up is not very difficult, most instruction can be easily followed, and you always have this forum for help. :)
