Thanks Bev. I have dial up and the router is to make it faster. But i already got rid of it. Three people tried to get it going for me with no luck. My grandson told them he was a pro on this kind of stuff and they changed their way of talking. They told him i probably needed to put a different satellite on my roof. My grandson explained it to me and i just looked at him. He said into the phone, she never said boo!! Meaning they were just moneying me death. With each person that called it was 29;00 to 199.00. Finally Allen got on phone and i said tell them i am calling the Attorney General, then they back track some. Only have to pay 133.00. But they had the fool idea i had to take if off the roof. But allen has a voice that can call the cows home from ten miles asway<VBG> Any way they will be picking it up them self. Hugs. Viola.

Amazon has some nice Q&As about such items. Take a look at http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_7091112_2?ie=UTF8&docId=1000245671&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0P7Y4P23WY427E7A3G17&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=410579201&pf_rd_i=1000245671#What%20does%20a%20router%20do? I have a router, it's the hardware that handles my information packets and lets me run laptops, netbook, tablets and my iTouch without wires to the modem. I love it. It's not difficult to understand once set up, it's nigh impossible to figure out if you don't have one. Where you live, are you dependent on satellite for your internet? Or do you still have telephone connections, maybe even telephone dsl which offers more speed? Elaine Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.
