Cable Modems

tou2yaj asked:


I am having issues with my internet not working properly. I want to try to plug my cable internet into my computer or laptop, without using my router to see if it is an internet connection problem or a router problem; because I do not want to buy another router. Since they are so expensive. Please advise.

My father is wanting to get cable internet for his notebook computer with out all of the extra wires going across the room… what all does he need to be able to do this? His computer is an older Dell notebook that has ME on it, if that makes a difference.
Does he really need a cable modem, wireless router and a wireless reciever? Could there be a wireless cable modem out on the market? That way he would only have to buy that and a reciever?

self-doubting asked:


I consider myself pretty computer-savvy, but I know nothing about internet via cable hook-up. I have always used DSL (for my desktop) and WiFi for my laptop. I am about to move to an apartment that offers “cable” connections, and I’m only bringing my laptop… How do I know if my laptop (3 months old) can handle cable? Does it hook into the USB port?
(Very confused…)

I have a labtop that is made with wireless internet capabilities, but the internet service I have at home is cable internet, with a cord to hook up to my computer. What do I need to purchase in order to attach to the cable internet so my computer can access it as wireless instead of hooking it up with the wire??

My internet is down a lot. How would I know if my cable lines are bad for cable internet or if my modem is defective?

I want to set-up an internet phone service to speak with friends overseas. Vonage talks about broadband connections and I know I have a cable connection. What’s the difference, if there is one? And can I set up a phone service from my cable-internet computer?

my c asked:


I would like to continue to work from home, but my internet service is unreliable and is making the job impossible. I have Cox and it goes down often. sometimes the modem is working but he pages wont come up. Today the service was just down for the day. I missed an important email from my attorney.

Which high speed cable internet service do you recommend?

My sister has a laptop computer and right now its hooked up to cable internet connection. She would like to get out of having the wire hooked up to her laptop and go to a wireless cable connection. What would she need to buy to do this? Please explain this to me so that I can tell her.

Not Eddie Money asked:


I suspect that the neighbor/landlord may be piggybacking his cable TV and cable internet from me. Is there any easy way to prevent this? Maybe by reassigning input ports or something? Bandwidth is at a high premium these days, and I’m not interested in paying an astronomical price for a sub-par connection.

bizzie asked:


I currently have Comcast internet/basic cable. If I cancel my subscription for cable tv and keep the internet, can I just split the line going to the router, run it to the tv and still get basic cable?
