We have a broadband connection here at work. It is Road Runner through Time Warner Cable. It is run through a Linksys router. We also have various people who come and plug into the router to go on line with their laptops. Every couple of days, the modem needs to be recycled because certain people can not connect yet others at the same time are using the connection.
