thanks, so i have one present.

does any one know about verizon giving out routers for free, to go with their dsl modems?

a friend of mind that works for verizon says that is the case, but i'm not too sure.

Verizon is giving the Westell 327W router along with the connections. You should check with them to be sure.

Almost all 6000 s come with the Intel Wireless card in them. You can verify it in Device Manager.

Start - Right Click My Computer - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager - Network Adapter.

Look for Intel or anything related to Wireless under the Network Adapters.

If it is present, you have a wireless card and don't need to purchase the PC Card.
