I'm going to make myself really dumb and you all really smart.
I don't know the difference between a router and a modem.
You all know my secret. I shall hide in fear.
My landlord/lady uses Century Link which I know can get AT LEAST 10mbps down and 2mbps up. I'm currently getting less than that and I'm guessing it's what is putting out the wifi signal. She currently has a Qwest modem and it's old. I want to make a deal with her in investing in something better for the sake of all three of us living under the same roof so an upgrade can be made.
Please do help with what I need to check and whatnot. Like-
-Can I just unplug her modem and plop a new one on and be done? (Besides SSID and WPAK2 stuff)
-Any issues with the ISP?
-Angry alpacas flying into the window?
I need TPU's god-like knowledge help here guys.
