One (hopefully) last question --- do the spare laptop AND the router now have to be on the same subnet as the modem, or just the spare laptop?
REALLY appreciate all your help, Wayjac! |

If the spare laptop is the only computer you want to access the modem. Only the spare laptop needs to use the same subnet as the modem |
