Isn't the wi-fi for a Mac Apple's Airport gizmo?

Carguy,

Bring your iPad down to my house and try what I have when you come down for closing.
I have the Centurylink and use it all wirelessly. Also just talked to a guy from Bridgeport, in the Syracuse area. He is buying two doors away.

We have an Apple Airport Express
 
and it is hooked up in the spare bedroom and gives us wifi throughout the house. Don't know the speed but it works fine for us. On occasion I have had to reset it but I think that has only happened a couple of times in 3 years. we are on Comcast and up til now have been pleased but I just heard that they are not granting vacation time for the rest of the year and I will have to see what is planned for the future, as one of the main reasons we have stuck with Comcast is because of the vacation option for the summer. If anyone knows anything more about it please post or pm. Don't know what options for cable we have in Poinciana.

Bridgeport
 
66Vetter!

If I can get it away from my wife. Can't believe it we both exchanged gifts this morning and she got me one, I got her one!

Ask your friend from Bridgeport is he has heard of the Herv and Dave The CarGuys on WFBL . I should have him call in one day. You also from Florida.

Give him my email-

Ipad is very powerful! wow.

Apple has a wireless modem that you can install yourself --it's great --costs about $100.

I am surprised if you were gong through WiFi and not 3G. Last year when we were in those units, they didn't have WiFi...Maybe they do now !

You can get a NetGear wireless modem at Wal-mart for $59 and install it in about 15-30 minutes. It works great.

Apple
 
Helen,

APPLE claims their router/ wireless / data backup does all and speeds up the wireless signal in the home. I think that one costs near $200.00

Any one out there using this system.
