Thank you all the the great welcomes - after 3 routers (we have 2 computers running on the cable)
I finally figured out after getting a 3'rd router that the router itself was bad -
Funny how the one I was the day I posted here glitched my IP addy ....so I got it all fixed! and now we have SPEED too!
how is everyone? so glad to get back on - never dreamed the day I signed back in I'd get kicked to the curb with a freakin router !
no offense -but talking to Pakinston for hours was BIG FUN!
