Hi Don, yes I'm aware of WiFi but not him or a spot but I told him to contact Netgear. Now I have my first wireless router for my new HD Tivo and we got it hooked up ok but it took time and a call to Netgear. The router wouldn't connect with my Tivo.......Tivo told me which firewall ports to unblock and Netgear helped me unblock each, talk about a pain and process. I hope the router NEVER gets reset......they said the only way I would lose the netgear settings was if the router was reset to factory defaults.....I pray it never gets reset :) I haven't heard back from my brother inlaw yet...........
