Laptop users
I finally ordere myself a laptop since it appears I may be on bed rest at some point in the next few months. I have Verizon FIOS on my computer at home and I think somebody told me I can use that router (I think it's a router) for my laptop as well and I wouldn't need to buy one, does anyone know if that's correct? TIA!
Re: Laptop users
I should start my saying I know absolutely nothing about Verizon.
What I can tell you is that we have a wireless router at home and both my husband and I access our internet at home from our work laptops. Most new laptops are able to pick up wireless signal.
If you have a non-wireless router you may be able to plug it in to your laptop...but I would probably recommend purchasing a wireless one. They aren't too expensive and being able to sit anywhere in your house and get the internet is definitely a plus!
Hope this helped a little!

We have FiOS and their device does contain a router so you can just use that. When we had more devices we used an additional router but it's not necessary.
Be sure to use the securitiy features in the setup to protect your network as much as possible. There are different levels possible and we use the highest amount of encryption and it's still fine with our laptops.
Like Christina said...a new laptop should be able to "see" your network as soon as you get it up and running. If your network is secured (some still don't have theirs secure) you will need your network ID key to enter it in when you set up your wireless networking for that computer. Older laptops require a wireless card but any new one now a days should be able to pick it up right away. if it doesn't pop up there should be a spot in the bottom right hand corner where if you scroll over with the cursor it should say "view available networks" and you just click on it and yours should be listed.
