I apologize in advance if I am posting to the wrong forum as I am a very new member.
My problem is that I am using my MacBook Pro as my primary computer. This means it must be connected to my cable modem, which in turn, is connected to my router.
This means that if I disconnect the MacBook Pro from the cable modem, this takes down the wireless home network (I assume).
Is there any workaround that would permit me to take the MacBook Pro with me but leave the home network up and running?
Barring that, what if I was to buy a really cheap used PC and connect the modem to it? If so, would I still be able to run my iPad and iPhone off the network or would I have to do something special?
Thanks in advance for the help.
