And the tech assured me the wifi was strong enough to reach my tower (other side of the house). Your assumption is pretty good. Not sure of the towers age but the tablet is fairly new. My nephew is a te hie. I might see if he will help me. Should I futz with the router settings or call them back? I just retired so I have some free time to futz.......
