Spectrum modems & routers are now free and covers our 2100+ home. Coverage depends on where you put the router. Ours is above the cabinet that is over the refrigerator. There should be an ethernet connection there - probably behind a blank plate. We put the modem in the low voltage cabinet, connected the correct ethernet cable and then put the router above the refrigerator.

Just wondering -- if you're a snowbird, do you keep your internet all year, or turn it off when not there?

Hi! We will not be snowbirds, so we will have the internet year round.

Centric Fiber Optic is the way to go. Especially since you will be working from home. High speed & reliable.
