Verizon User

I actually live in an oval-shaped court, and our side of the court was left out for some reason when they layed out the wires about 1/2 year ago. And now they are actually digging up my lawn up right now. I'm gettin my in-home installltion on Mon. They sent me a package saying they will offer Verizon FIOS 5/2 package for $29.95 per month, what I'm currently paying for DSL. 

AND they are offering a $50 rebate w/ free installation. I've decided to use the money to get the Linksys wireless router they offer for $64.95, and pay the rest myself. So only $14.95 out of my pocket for this boost in my speed. 

They've really been stalking me they call everyday eventhough I already agreed to the installation.

How do u do that?

Like what about like settin up WEP.

I tried to do it on one comp, but none of the other comps show a difference.

I just got a Westell Versalink router from Verizon. I was just wonderin if there is a good website to find out how to set-up some security on my connection so only computers in my house can use my connection. Maybe some type of username password thing. Sorry I'm such a newbie.

When I run Ad-aware Se Personal, it only gets half way though when the message

Windows must restart because the Remote Procedure call....

and it says I have 45 seconds to save my data before Windows shuts down.

CAN SOMEONE HELP PLZZ!

I have a ton of spyware too, and i went into safe mode with networkin and used ADWARE SE PERSONAL and AWARESPY and there are still SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY POP-UPS.

Any advice?

I have Auroroa, CashBackBuddy, etc.

^^^Yeah, I know that sucks.

But I upgraded to 3mpbs  :D :D and I'm gettin a wirelss roter soon.

This makes me sad  :cry:

I'm not really sure.

:goes to check bestbuy.com;

Here is a list form bestbuy.com:

It looks like the wired ones aren't too expensive. Mabey around $30.00

I'm sooo confused, I thought a Mini PCI Card was the same thing. So that means I have to buy a wirless router right, that will detect the fact that i'm using Verizon as my IP?

Well I have Verizon, and I'm catching signals from my neighbors.

Like my connection is really slow

40 KBS Download.

I was just looking for a faster service.

I had a shit load of fun trying to replace the eathernet in my laptop Its not a fun task.

lol

Well like I have a PCI card soo like one of my neighbors have a router soo my comp is recognizing a signal but I can't go on. Should I be able to?

Really? How much is that?

soo how does the wireless router know that I'm connecting using Verizon?

oh the ethernet port on my laptop.

I have a Westell Model 2200 and am a Verizon user and since my ethernet port broke I'm connecting through the internet thorugh a USB.

I was just wonder a lot of people connect throgh a wireless router, and I was thinking of getting one, I already have the PCI card soo does that mean I have to get a new Interent Provier?

Or does it just connect after I set up the router on my comp?

Sorry I'm an amatuer

Westell 2200 is the way to go. No problems since i got it (except if you connect it through USB then you have to forward ports lol)

Hey, I'm new here and I just read ur message and I'm connceting through USB, and my upload and d/l rate is really low like 44kb/s. Is there anyway that I can boost my speed?

I can't use mny ethernet port cuz it's broken (I hate Dell, w/ passion, this comp is shit!!!!)

And I forwarded my ports but it's still slow.
