East End Long Islander I decided to go wireless when I had to reposition my modem and router on the 1st floor of my house, so I could use my laptop on the 2nd floor and basement when I felt like it. My desktop is on the 2nd floor, so it's now wireless, too.

I use Optimum Online (Cablevision) and they came and set it all up for me, on a promotion deal, a while ag...See More
