    Wifi and Modem Advice Regarding New and Old Computers


    We have a new Windows 10 desktop which has been put on wifi for us. We were not happy with the layout of Windows Mail and put in Outlook on this computer and it has IMAP settings. We also have two our old Windows 7 computers - one is a desktop and the other is a laptop. They are set up with Pop3.

    The Windows 7 DESKTOP is plugged into our modem, but the Windows 7 LAPTOP is not but we have always been able to access it when the Windows 7 desktop is on. We had it set via a Homegroup. We are able, at present, to reach our internet provider's webmail site if we want to pick up emails when on holiday at a cyber café; we do not have an iPhone or ipad, etc. or want these.

    My questions are as following regarding us no longer wanting to use the two old Windows 7 computers. We want to unplug the Windows 7 desktop from the modem and wall socket and store both of the Windows computers. Therefore:

    1) Should we plug the new Windows 10 which is on wifi into the modem or will this mess the wife connection up?
    2) If we should put it into the modem, would this mean we could not reach our ISP's webmail site as we would be using an IMAP email set up computer?
    3) If we do not plug the Windows 10 desktop into the modem, what do we do with the modem, i.e. how would the Windows 10 recognise wifi without a modem in use?

    I am very confused about this and seek some advice. Please keep your answers simple as I am not that computer savvy and thank you in advance for any clarification you offer.

    :)

    Getting a new computer. Need a new Modem

    So I'm getting a new computer this Christmas (yay parents...) but I dont have a wireless connection so I need a new modem. I have searched google everywhere to no avail, and Bellsouth SUCKS with customer support. So I decided to ask you guys. What would you suggest for the best modem for DSL within $20-$40?

    Depending on exactly what your problem is, start by following these steps:

    That usually means that the router you are connecting to recognizes that you are there, but has not accepted you as an approved user. That happens when the wifi password on your computer is not a match for the one required in
    the router.



    One solution that frequently fixes this is to delete your network from your computer. Then have your computer recognize a new network (yours) and ask for the wifi password.



    1. Start globe (bottom left)
    2. Control panel
    3. Network and Internet
    4. Network Sharing Centre
    5. Manage networks
    6. Find and remove your network


    Try the icon in the system tray again (bottom right)

    It should find the "new" network and ask for the wifi password.

    NETGEAR Launches Two New Cable Modem Routers

    NETGEAR, Inc., a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, is adding two new cable modem routers to its growing family of cable products: the N600 Dual-Band WiFi Cable Modem Router (C3700) and the N300 WiFi Cable Modem Router (C3000). These two-in-one devices integrate a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem for faster Internet access and an N300/N600 high-speed 802.11n WiFi router together in one space-saving device. Supporting the NETGEAR genie app, the cable modem routers enable you to simplify installation and management while supercharging your cable Internet connection to enjoy smoother streaming of HD videos, movies and music, more responsive online gaming, and faster file downloads. After you set up one of these cable modem routers, you'll be able to take advantage of the new, faster broadband speeds that cable providers are offering while eliminating monthly modem rental fees from your cable bill.

    The new cable modem routers integrate an 802.11n WiFi router with a built-in high-speed 8x4 CableLabs-certified DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem. DOCSIS 3.0 is the next generation of Data Over Cable Services Interface Specification (DOCSIS), an international standard that enables cable operators to deliver significantly faster data speeds to your home. A DOCSIS 3.0 8x4 cable modem offers download speeds up to 340 Mbps*, eight times faster than the previous version, DOCSIS 2.0. Both of the two new cable modems support eight download and four upload channels simultaneously, which is ideal for HD video streaming, fast downloads, and high-speed online gaming.

    "NETGEAR believes in offering a broad range of technology options for your home network so you can choose the one that best suits your needs," said Sandeep Harpalani, NETGEAR's director of product marketing for Retail Networking Products. "To that end, we are expanding our portfolio of cable products to meet the requirements of the fast-growing cable Internet market. Our new cable modem routers integrate the latest DOCSIS 3.0 cable technology with the superior ease-of-use capabilities that you've come to expect in NETGEAR routers, thanks to the NETGEAR genie app. By owning one of our new cable modem routers, you have an easy option for avoiding your cable provider's monthly modem leasing fee."

    In addition to the fastest cable speeds, both of the new cable modem routers integrate an 802.11n WiFi router. The N300 WiFi Cable Modem Router supports WiFi speeds up to 300 Mbps* on the 2.4GHz band. The N600 WiFi Cable Modem Router offers simultaneous dual-band networking, reducing WiFi interference and doubling bandwidth, supporting speeds up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 and 5GHz bands so all your wireless devices have a super-fast WiFi connection.

    Both cable modem routers support the NETGEAR genie software application, a free app and personal dashboard that makes it easy to install, monitor, control and repair your home network from PCs, Macs, and iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The MyMedia feature helps you to find and play media files in your network. Setting up parental controls and guest access is ultra-easy. Furthermore, you can attach a USB hard drive to the NETGEAR ReadySHARE-enabled USB port on the cable modem routers and you will have wireless access of the storage drive from any device in your home network.

    The new N300 and N600 Cable Modem Routers are compatible with current and next-generation WiFi devices and offer the highest level of wireless security and support for IPv6. Each cable modem router also comes equipped with Gigabit Ethernet ports so you can benefit from the fastest wired speeds to connect your desktop computer and other devices such as network storage, while still enjoying the freedom of wireless connections for mobile devices such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones.
