I don't se why not. My laptop works with the wireless you get with the television service. My problem is laptops are always slower and even with a optional mouse hooked to the USB port, using a laptop for everyday use might be a little restricted. Questions are- how long ill you be in TV? For a week or two at a time I am sure the laptop will work okay. It also depends on how much you depend on a computer. Good luck with your computer.

As Tom said, it shouldn't be a problem. As long as your laptop has an 10/100 Ethernet port on it, you should be able to cable it up directly to a Comcast modem. Even if you have a wireless router set up, you should find it to have at least one Ethernet port on it to use for a hard-wired connection.

I brought our wireless router to our rental and we are using 2 laptops and a wireless printer simultaneously. When our friends arrive tomorrow, I expect we could possibly be using up to 4 laptops at the same time. Things might get a little slow then.

Unless you are all streaming video, at the same time, you likely will see no real difference in performance with 4 computers on the same wireless network and a cable connection.
Enjoy your time in TV..... I'm jealous! Stuck in Germany for 2 more weeks and then we'll be in transit to TV.... |
