My thanks to all for your kind help
What we're going to do, later this week, is bring my laptop down to
her house, connect to Comcast with the laptop, access my AOL account
through her modem and see what happens. Reportedly her husband (PC
connected with a wireless router) never loses a signal, but her
computer does,
My thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I'll keep you posted once
we've researched this a bit more, probably later this week.

A link to the article would be helpful. We're talking Mac here, but if
it's on MacFixIt, perhaps that's an issue. I really can't imagine it,
but I guess I'll have to do some research now. Thanks for the info!
