[dba-Tech] modem/router

Computers are working famously. :) It's the TV cable that's crap now. I'll 
let Bill check the splitter when he gets home and if that doesn't improve 
things we may have to call the cable company.

FWIW, I am delighted with the D-link wireless router and compatible 
receiver. It was easy to install and we never hit the first snag.
