Installation of Cox internet
What is involved in installing Cox internet? Is it js just a matter of connecting some device to the cable line or is something more involved like installing software on my wifi enabled laptop which is all I have?

Typically if you're self-install eligible you can be shipped a kit which includes the cables commonly needed and basic instructions on how to connect the cable modem once you have it in your possession. If you are needing a device we offer wireless gateway modems which include a wireless router for sale or lease. Professional installation is also available if you would like a technician to come out and make all of those connections. Pretty much all computers made nowadays will have everything needed to get on the Internet already.

Are you looking to get 50-100Mbps+? If so, you will need to make sure what ever gateway/router you get is capable Wifi that fast, and make sure your computer is compatible with that type of wifi. Most laptops that come with Windows 7 and above will have a built in Wifi N adapter, which should work nicely with just about any router. If you have an older laptop, or you want faster speeds, then things get a bit more complicated.
