[Njtechdiv] Wireless connect doodad

[Eileen Scrivani]

Hi Tracy,

Merry Christmas to you too.

I’m not completely sure about this, but wireless to me says there will be a router involved & if the new set-top box is wireless, is it looking to connect to your in-home network via Y-fi? If so it might be a matter of setting up the new box with your router name/id & the password for it.

Just thinking out loud. Good luck.

Happy holidays to everyone!

Cablevision is giving me a Christmas present of a new, accessible cable box!  Hope it works like the website says it does.  It’s supposed to talk for everything.

But it means I have to switch my old desktop from Ethernet to wireless, and the old PC doesn’t seem to have a way to access wireless.  I only see LAN on the network connections page.

Do I need a doodad to make it able to connect wirelessly?  If so, what’s the doodad called, so I can look for it on Amazon?

Thanks.

Tracy
