Do you use wireless router?

Hi youless I’m rather curious and interested to know why you have so many laptops at home. You don’t tell me you use all the 4 laptops at the same time to surf net. Or there are other members in your family surf net as well. I would use the wireless router to surf net if I use both the desktop and laptop at the same time. The USB modem has a single USB port only so it could serve a computer to access internet connection only. I have to use the wireless router when my son is back to home or my nephew visits me, for using the wireless router we then could use more than one computer at the meanwhile. There is another advantage which I enjoy most when using the wonderful wireless router, yeah I could access network at any corner of my house. It’s really convenient for I’m not restricted anymore at just staying in a small confined place. My son has set a password for the sake of security to prevent outsiders to access and share the network using our wireless router. posting and 2009!

Good evening, youless. I have only a wire router instead of a wireless one. Speaking of router for the use of the Internet, I will have to go and pay for the service fee for the Internet for the coming year. Here we usually pay it in advance or pay the service monthly. Last year I paid 980 for the service fee. I am not sure whether it will be cheaper this year. I am glad that it is very convenient for you to use the laptops with a wireless router. Enjoy yourself, youless. Good night.

wow, that are 4 laptops in your house! Why do you need so many of them? I am using a very old wireless bought in 2003. It's still using the 401.1B standard, which is at 10Mbps speed, and it's much slower than the G+ standard nowadays. I am still using it, because my broadband service is only 512kBps. So at most, the download speed will only go up to 4Mbps and it will never exceed the hardware limitation. Therefore, that's the reason why I am still stick to the existing wireless router. Back in those days, wireless routers are still very expensive. I bought this one at an discounted price, at USD $30. Other routers are sold at $40 to $50 range. It's has been working fine most of time, but with some intermittent down time. So I need to power off it in order to reset it, and everything will be back to normal again. This is quite frustrating sometimes, because the router is far from where I place my laptop.

Using a wireless router is very convenient. But you have to take precautions and put up security on your router. Otherwise, other people may hijack your connection and do something nasty without your knowledge. It happened to a few people here where I am. The teens were caught hijacking the wireless signal and sending mass hoax bomb threats. They were arrested and prosecuted to the full extend of the law. So, be careful with your connection when you go wireless at home.

Hi youless! Wow! I wish I could have that many laptops! haha..No, my router is not wireless and I do believe that if mine is wireless, then it will be much more convenient for me provided that I am still using a laptop. Right now, I am using my husband desk top. Take care dear friend! God Bless You Always! lovelots..faith210

Yes i do because it is more convenient than having tto connect using LAN cables. I can use my laptop anywhere in the house witout worrying anything. One thing to remember though when using a wireless router is to make sure it is secured. You would not want other people outside your home to be able to access your connection for free without your knowledge. They may commit crimes online and the fingers might be pointed towards you since you own the connection.

hi there youless, at the moment we dont have one but we are about to buy one since that we also have lots of laptops here at home and it would be really helpful if we have a router

I just got one today for use with my new ipod touch. It will be nice come summer and i am at the pool with my internet.

I just bought a wireless router a few months ago. It's really useful and convenient, as I can bring my laptop anywhere in my house and still get connected to the Internet. Sometimes, I bring my laptop to the living room, going online and watching television at the same time. Also, without the LAN cable, it's so much neater.

We also have a wireless router here at home, its very convenient since my husband and I have our own laptops. There are times when we both have something to do in the computer and being able to separately access the internet helps us both to finish our work without having to wait in taking turns for the use of a computer with internet.

I am currently saving amazon that I am earning at different sites to buy myself a laptop and wireless equipment. I'm hoping to get it before the end of April. I can't wait! Marsha

I have wireless router at my home too. For convenient and not to mess up with those cables. At first plan not to use wireless at home untill I buy my handphone (Nokia N82). The handphone comes with wifi function. I won't be able to use all the functions unless I have wireless at home. Therefore, I have no choice but to buy the router and it does not cost me much. Now I can link my N82 with my computer through wifi. So convenient and I can watch movie via my N82. Great gadget!! Happy mylotting

yeah thats what we have now the wireless.

hi, youless we have a tp-link router at home because three of us have laptops. we also have a linksys router at the office to dispose off using cables. routers are indeed very convenient, don't you think? have a nice day!

I don't use a wireless router because i am just doing a piggyback ride with my internet connection... but i think my landlady has a wireless router... because internet can be easily accessed anywhere in the building... and that is a good thing for me...

yes, we use wireless router at home since each one of us uses different computer..its very convenient whenever i wanna use the laptop to go on with my paid sites while I'm at the lobby...

Since there are many of us in the house, it was decided to have a wireless router. It makes sense because there are two desktops and up to 5 laptops during the holidays. I use only one desktop unless I am troubleshooting for the family. Since several neighbours have accessed the Internet without permission I have set up a firewall. I am not being mean. Whenever they were allowed to access the Internet they tend to hog the bandwidth, downloading many things including photos and videos. I use Aztech. I helped my friend to set up D-Link. In my opinion it is easier to set up using Aztech wireless router. all the best, rosdimy

yes i have a wireless router it came with my AOL Boardband package free. which was good because now i have a laptop its easy to use the net around my house.

yup, I'm using wireless router at home. I bought it a year ago. Before I decide which brand should I buy I made some research from the internet. So I decide that I buy ZyXEL. So far I have no problem using my wireless router. Because wireless can be access by anyone within the range of its signal I set a WEP and change the key from time to time.

i would have to agree with you on the wireless router as i have one for my two laptops and it have made surfing on the internet so much betta easy to just sit in the lounge and surf the net... regards
