Like many people who are very familiar with technology, this woman speaks as if we
are familiar with it too.  She needs to slow down, explain everything in very basic language and give people a chance to absorb what she is showing us.

Bad form for an instructional video. She spends 30 seconds blabbing about wifi at the beginning that has nothing to do with the specific topic, and then speed-talks through the setup steps. "And for more info, check the links on this page" -- the only link is to their channel. Almost a complete fail. The task isn't difficult, I just wanted to see it explained.

My router has been set up for some time and I am currently using a 2 laptops plus my old desktop. I want to give away my old desktop. Can I just unhook it from the router or is there something else I need to do?

[TheRealPatrickP]

I have LINKSYS. I'm trying to use it to get a "STRONGER" signal with a Wifi connection on my computer I already have. My computer usually gets the Wifi signal without it. Just wanna make it stronger. How do I make this happen?

[ugochiopara]

I have a question, I am in college and the internet sucks, so do I need a router or a modem or both to connect to the internet?

[temporarilyanon]

Can I Just Go Buy A Wireless Router And Then Have Internet. Or Do I Have To Get Internet Through Sum Sort Of cable Service???

[ginafreeson]

Very clear and to the point...great job! But it is for internet savvy people which is most but not all people, this is why I say its great. But it is not for beginners. Beginners need all steps even to putting in numbers and creating passwords...these steps, she does not include

[JoseLopez-lkeh]

my modem already transmits wireless signals. will a router extend the range? or even stabilize wifi between many devices?

[ExportHiTec]

Do you need your internet provider to install a new router on call?

[davecrupel]

Can any be plugged in without the need of a computer? Can any just be "plug and use" with default settings? Or can the changes be done through the ethernet or wifi signal itself?

[tomrisar]

I have a strange router behavior scenario to ask about, I was having problems with Netflix and rebooted the wireless router also moved the router closer to the trouble TV with a longer cable that is connected to the ISP box. I had no problems connectiing to internet with my pc(was somewhat flakey though with no dns server)) So I go reboot and noticed I had connected the ISP box to my wifi router incorrect, it was plugged into the blue ethernet rj 45 instead of the yellow "internet" labelled rj45 jack. Is it possible to have service with a wrongly connected isp/wifi box?

[ronsteltz]

My ISP says that my netgear router is corrupting my ISP modem and then i get no signal from the ISP, can this be correct???

[AniketBhatP]

Well, I don't have a modem. I have a optical fibre wire connected directly to my computer's Ethernet card. How can I connect WiFi then ? Will I have to buy a modem and a WiFi router or will a particular type WiFi router do the trick ?
