According to my friend, she's never even had to access the modem or router. They set everything up for her. I asked her to access the modem so I could see the modem's web page, she didn't know how to do it. I plan to do as much of my own as I can. I'm hoping to use my router since it is already set up and passwords are already in everything that uses wifi. Plus, I haven't had this modem very long. I bought some larger ears for it so that my printer and such will get a signal. I can get a signal about 400 feet down the road with my cell phone. lol I'm excited about the faster download speed for sure but I'm also very happy that I have the same speed going up. I can do some sort of cloud backup if I want but even better, I can upload videos to video sites much faster. Overall, this is better than I imagined several months ago when it was first being mentioned. Hardware and connections seems simple enough, fast speeds and a company that is awesome. Price is really good too. Only $4.00 a month more than what I have now. Thanks for the info. Now for the waiting part. Dale :-) :-)
