The WOW! Buzz

In today’s world of internet connected devices, home networking is becoming a required part of your high-speed internet service. Home networking lets you use your internet connection on all of your computers in the home as well as allowing file sharing, internet access for gaming consoles, and even for connectivity to a centrally located printer.  And, with the wireless home networking solution from WOW!, all of your computers are protected behind the built-in firewall included with the service. This will prevent unauthorized users, or hackers,  from accessing your computers.

Did you recently buy a new computer and now have an extra desktop computer that you want your children to use but there is no connection for an Ethernet cable in the room you are moving the computer to? With WOW! home networking it is no problem. Simply add a USB wireless adapter available from WOW! or from your local retailer and put the computer anywhere in the home you like. Do you have a laptop computer that you bring home from work that has a wireless adapter? Simply connect it to the wireless connection on your WOW! home network to get online.  Did you recently buy a Wii, Playstation 3, or other wireless enabled game system? (Please note that Xbox requires a wireless adapter from Microsoft.) Connecting  game systems to the internet through the WOW! home network is as simple as entering your personal passcode that was provided by our technician during the initial setup . WOW!’s wireless home networking solution lets you have internet connectivity to multiple computers and anywhere in the house, on your deck, in your basement, wherever you need it.

The biggest challenge users face when installing home networking on their own is the setup and support of the home network and deciding what equipment to buy from the local retail outlet. As someone that understands home networking and routers, I’m always the guy friends and co-workers call to come over and help them set up the router they just purchased. Then, when they have a problem with the router later, which inevitably happens,  I get another call to come over and help troubleshoot the problem. 

With WOW! wireless home networking, you won’t need to rely on the knowledge of a  “go-to-guy” at work.  We make it simple. As long as your equipment is wireless ready, you won’t need to buy any extra equipment to connect all your devices. WOW!s advanced modem works wonderfully with all your wireless equipment and will also serve as the source for WOW! phone service for customers that have both phone and internet service. A WOW! technician will setup and configure the wireless modem and connect all your equipment at the time of installation, so all you have to do is start enjoying your service. If after the installation, you buy a new gaming system or laptop computer, and you need help with the set up, you can simply call WOW!’s  24/7  support line for help. You won’t get this kind of service and support when you purchase a router from an electronics store!
