Can you see if there's a firmware update for your router?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, 802.11n is backwards compatible. 802.11b and 802.11g systems can connect to them. Many of the new routers even run dual networks, one at 2.4GHz and one at 5GHz. Older 2.4GHz systems cannot connect to the 5GHz networks. I have a mixture of machines that are 802.11g and 802.11n. Currently I have four 802.11n networks, one of them runs at 5GHz and some of my devices, like the XBox 360 and the Tivos can't see it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OK, it will probably be faster to ask this because I can't find it through Help. How do you do a line break in Word 2007?

Isn't it CTRL-ENTER?

OK, google helped, it is shift-enter.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
we haven't been able to access the Internet from home on our laptops for two days. iTouch works fine. Comcast came out and said it's not them. 2 of the 3 laptops have been taken to my parent's house where they work just fine. any ideas? i really don't want to pay someone to come out.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
When in doubt, reboot the router.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oddly enough, my home internet came back on without my doing anything at all last night. So maybe my router is fine and the problem was with Cablevision. (I never bothered calling them because the way that usually goes is I spend half an hour on hold and then give up. So this time I skipped to the end.)
