I’m just curious,cuz we have comcast 4 our internet service and I was just wondering what would happen if u put your smart phone near your router, will it notice a device or does your plan have to allow the connection?

    im pretty shure it wont since your mobile phone company uses towers to broadcast internet to their phones like i said im not sure. Sam

    It depends on the phone. For instance, my Motorola Droid can use my wireless router just fine.

    Please note that, at least in my case, using wireless seems to discharge the battery much faster! Benny
