I
have obtained a copy of the router that has been proposed by Comcast
as a business modem that can be placed in individual associations as
a business account to wi-fi the building. The interesting thing is
that that modem is the exact modem I have in my home. The signal from
that modem does not reach out very far from my unit. I cannot go
more than two (2) units away from mine and still receive a signal on
my laptop. Also, if my husband is listening to his radio stream and I
am trying to play a game, the speed drops tremendously.
Also
in having only one (1) modem per building, it means that everyone in
that building is using the same security access code. This means that
there are people that know how to access other computers via that
modem — so your computer is compromised.
Again
recently, I had to give my access code to the EMS when they came to
my apartment because they could not access their modem on their unit.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they could have their own access via the
Wi-Fi to access records they need to take care of us? I am thankful
that it was not a life-threatening emergency when they were called
and we had time to put the needed codes in their computer.
