All of this shit is confusing

Okay so my landlord said that the apartments all have internet. But to access that internet do I need a Wi-Fi router? Cuz I gotta get my homework done. And if this place does have internet, where is it? Why am I not hooked up to it automatically I've lived here for almost 2 years. I'v just basically been bumming off of people's Wi-Fi around me but they all kicked me off.

Yeah you need a router.. Unless you can get on someone's WiFi.

@HannahSky so all I need to do is go to Walmart and pick up a Wi-Fi router thingy and I'll be back on internet in no time so I can finish my homework?

@TurtlePink It sounds like you need to subscribe to an internet service.. Att, Comcast etc.. And then you have internet, and you can hook up a router.
Unless your landlord pays for the whole building to have one internet provider.

@HannahSky yeah I think the landlord does pay for it. Because he said that we did have internet.

@TurtlePink ok then getting a router should work. You need some internet connection to hook it up to.. Like your PC 💻

@HannahSky this is what he said.

@TurtlePink router /modem yes that's it.
They aren't that expensive.

@TurtlePink ask what internet provider your landlord uses. Some are specifically for certain companies.
I'm not sure about the modem/router combo or if a router only is enough
