Default Computer Hook up

Hi All,
We are closing on our new house in Sanibel March 12. We definately are not computer savvy. Where could we hire someone to put our computer back together. You know connect to comcast outlet, connect modem and printer. I'm from NJ and here there are the Best Buy geeks (costly).
Thanks

If you label your cables and take the computer apart yourself, you should be able to put the cables back in the same configuration you have now. The router will work here just like it does in NJ. Comcast will hook up your new modem when they hook up your phone and TV (if you're going that route). As long as you aren't changing anything, you should not have a problem to do it yourself.

Try the self install but print out the name of someone that TOTV users love and pack that with your computers.
There costly BestBuy geeks here too if the self install fails.

Best case, find someone's 14 year old grandson who is visiting. They can be bought with a Coke, lol.

That is a really nice thing for you to do! Just another example of how generous and helpful people are on TOTV.
