    Default cable

    I was wondering if you have more than one computer on wireless internet service do you pay for each one or is it one set price?

    We have comcast and we may be getting another wireless computer laptop. Will our bill go up?

    Thanks!

    No, your bill won't go up.

    You would buy a router and your laptap will be able to connect wirelessly.

    we have a router that works differently as we have a 2 story house and the regular one wouldnt work.. I think its called mimo type.
    There are so many types of routers, be sure you getr the right one for your needs.
    We have 7 screen names and 3 computers ( one of them is a laptop) off one internet service provider. 14.99 a month for high speed ( non dial up)

    I bought a wireless router and we hooked it up ourselves.

    We keep two laptops and a desktop hooked up on the wireless network and the cost does not go up.

    So long as your internet provider doesn't charge for going over a certain usage (I think Comcast is experimenting with it) having another computer/laptop connected to your internet shouldn't increase your bill.

    If you needed another IP address, you would need to pay for that but most people don't need more than 1 IP address.

    We had a wireless router with the phone company where we used to live. There was just a flat monthly fee, no extra charges for more than one computer.
