This week on the TechCast Weekly, I answer a question sent to my by Beverly.  Beverly wants to know, "Why do I need a router to hook up my laptop to a computer connection?"  I’m thinking we’re speaking of an Internet connection, so on this week’s show I give you some great reasons why you need a router to hook up that laptop.

Of course, you have to have a broadband Internet connection to use a router and there’s no better way to get connected than with Comcast High Speed.  TechCast Weekly listeners can get 6 months of high speed access for only $19.99 a month.  Sign up here to get your broadband access and start sharing with all the computers on your network.

Routers are great and can make networking your computers very easy, but another great tool to add to the mix is Network Magic, which makes sharing files, printers, and your internet connection so very easy.  Click here to download your copy of the best networking software available.

Great informative show this week that will help clear up any confusion you have as to what a router is and what it can actually do for you.
