BestBuy just replaced a bad disk and I am trying to set things up myself for the first time.
Hubby and I are users. Network is using our router instead of the cable modem like we used to (before this month). It seems a lot slower than it was. Hubbby used the router for his Kindle, which is all I know about that needed it.
I have set us both up as users on the pc.
What do I do next - create the HomeGroup with us in it
OR
Create the Network and add us to it ?
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH !

Thanks for the reply.
I understand that you want to connect your computer to the router.
I request you to contact your internet service provider so that they can help you in setting this up for you.
Cheers.

This is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are trying to setup the PC to the wireless network and it is slow. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,
- Provide the computer model number or the product number.
- Which operating system is installed on the computer?
Reply with the result of the above-mentioned steps, for further assistance.
Cheers.

Thanks. SandyTechy, for your interest and suggestion for my problem.
BestBuy GeekSquad online chat person said to just bring the pc to the store (which I thought was kind of DUMB)
Sorry for bothering you all. I thought the answer would be HomeGroup or Network.
Your HP Boards have always been very helpful when I've searched
But, ok, I will check in with Comcast/Xfinity.
Thanks again,
Peace, Love and Blessings !
