Here is what I have

confuse on purpose of wireless access point
I know that WAP allows you to sort of extend the wireless range such that people can access the same network in a large area.

What internet speed is good enough for using Windows Remote Desktop
Hello, I am looking for a new cable/dsl internet provider and I would like to know really what speed is "good enough" for using Windows Remote Desktop. Since I don't want to pay extra for internet speed that I don't really use.
For example, ATT UVerse has plans of 3, 12, and 18 Mbps (download speeds)
while Comcast/Xfinity has 6, 25, 50 Mbps

Reinstalled Windows 8.1 on Laptop - WiFi disconnects upon connecting

But, when I use the wireless I can not connect to either the shared user folders

Solved Network Mapping (I Think)
I'm not sure what it's called, but I wish I could get it to work again. When you go to "Open Network and Sharing", you'll see a little thing in the upper right with the words "See Full Map". When I press on that and wait like 30 secs it tells me that "An error happened during the mapping process". I have looked high and low on how to get this corrected and it seems like nothing is working.
