Let me guess ATT Uverse? Just had ours upgraded, and I told them I

do that anymore and now you have to rent them>

I'm with the same company now as I was then, but their whole philosophy has now changed and they install their own router that covers everything -- computers, TV's, phones, etc.  So now, I have this collection of Wi-Fi hardware that I no longer need.  I'll offer it for sale next month in our neighborhood garage sale, but doubt that I'll get any takers -- all my neighbors have the same interconnectedness capability, and they don't need the old technology either! When I fire up one of my six computers, all of my neighbors show up on my systems and I can choose where I want to be connected.  Most of the time, the electronics in my various devices automatically switch, but one of my computers is so old that it has trouble keeping up with the "end device" demands and I end up going back to!
