Lynn, Don't know about the companies outside of PacBell, which turned into SBC, which is now our local AT&T, but, when we had problems or were setting up, they walked me through things, piece by piece. Even though I used to be a techie, I'm lost on these little machines and WiFi confounds me. Good luck!
