Wireless Routers For Verizon DSL

Let's get one thing clear right away the highly advertised Verizon DSL is not wireless internet. It is called "broadband", which is another way of saying "super good cable modem". Instead of transmitting information through the air, it transmits through fiber optic cables or whatever cables your Verizon provider provides. But there are such things as wireless routers for Verizon DSL.

Warning: Geek Lingo Approaching

A router is not in your computer. A router is only at your internet service provider. It's one of the reasons why you have to pay such a whopping bill each month. A router is an incredible device that's part traffic cop and part postal clerk, making sure messages like emails go to the right places. The advantage of using wireless routers for Verizon DSL rather than a cable modem is that it makes your internet connection run faster. That's the theory, anyway.

Also, Verizon would like you to consider using wireless routers for Verizon DSL because they offer such a plan which is more expensive than using a cable modem. There are many insomnia-curing websites on the Internet that explain how you can hook up wireless routers for Verison DSL yourself, but unless you're the reincarnation of Scotty from "Star Trek", forget it.

So, What Do You Do?

If you have a headache by now, you're not alone. I've got one, too and I've got to write about this stuff. Consider yourself lucky; you could be me. Anyway, not everywhere in America contains the technical hardware to support wireless routers for Verizon DSL. You have to check with Verizon to see if you live in an area that can support a wireless router at all.

The official wireless routers for Verizon DSL come in packages to your door via snail mail. You get a lot of wires, a DVD of instructions and a box. You have to disconnect your modem and install the router yourself. Then you usually need some sort of mini satellite dish to get the wireless signal in properly. If you can't figure out how to do it yourself, then Verizon will send a cable guy out to your place.

If you dont like it or for some reason you cant get it to work (which can happen, especially if your stupid ex painted all of the phone jacks to the wall), you can return everything and get your money back (minus shipping charges).
