Re: Will they be supplying the hardware?

TWC has been offering home networking for quite some time now. At least since 2002, if not earlier. Some of the earlier options used CAT5 ethernet lines or HPNA. 802.11b wireless was adopted soon after and more TWC divisions are moving to 802.11g.

To say that TWC leaves everything wide open is very broad. The installer may have done it in your case (shouldn't have unless you wanted it that way), but that is not the standard procedure.

Recently corporate changed the standard procedure to include configuring 128-bit encryption (previously 64-bit). This is to be done at every installation, unless the customer doesn't want it OR there are hardware/software issues with customer equipment that prevent it from working properly.

Re: Will they be supplying the hardware?

everyone i know that has wireless networking with TWC WOH they left the network wide open- no protection of any type.

i set out side some of my friends house times and use their internet and talk to them. then tell them I'm sitting outside their house on their porch.

After that i use my own Wi-Fi Router and manage it myself.
