    Need to know how to setup a WiFi Hotspot

    Thanks! Hope to keep it simple enough to avoid having to hire a consultant. But I will do exactly that if I feel that it becomes the better route.

    freaking time warner

    Everyone is giving you great advice. I may have a few more suggestions that might help. I'm not an expert just a have some experience with cable TV/Internet/Phone. DO NOT get a new modem until you first get T/W to correct that spider nest you took pics of. I'm surprised you even getting good TV...

    Got that itch to update/build a new SOHO PC

    ZAP, Trust me I know where you are coming from. This is much more a want than a need but I will give the SSD & Win7 a shot and then if I'm still not happy those can always be used in a new build. I am just going to shopping for all the components as they go on sale and when I have all the...
