A router is necessary in your house if you want to use even 1 computer without being wired directly into your modem (does DSL use a modem?). The router also has its own firewall, which is an extra layer of protection.
If you want to use wifi on the go, all you have to do is go to a "hotspot", like they have at libraries, coffee shops, and hotels. Or buy a "mobile hotspot": How to Choose the Fastest, Cheapest, and Most Reliable Mobile Hotspot to Stay Connected Everywhere You Go
The article is a little dated, but I don't think a mobile hotspot is cost effective for routine internet use -- not mine anyway. |
Thanks for all the info.
I'd like not to have to use cables to connect anything so can I ask if I've got this right? I'll buy a wireless NAT router and get a new internet service that sends wifi signals?
Will they then sell me with a new wifi wireless modem that will deliver the network signal to a cable or phone line (even after I have the landline disconnected)? Does that sound right?
I'm thinking with my biopsy procedure coming up tomorrow morning, I'm not thinking that clearly. It seems I'm not putting things together in my head! I picked a bad time to start all this but thought it would distract me. But you still need concentration to get distracted onto something new and mine seems to be gone this weekend. I'm sorry!
