I'm am ignorant when it comes to technology. I finally left cable and figured out roku and sling. I only use time warner for internet and want to get rid of it. If I purchase this, will I be able to drop time warner completely. Many thanks.

No you won't be able to drop your internet. These are Wi-Fi routers. You have a modem in your house that brings internet into your home. So when you use Time Warner they are delivering the internet through a modem. Only the modem actually has internet. In order for the whole house to have internet you need a Wi-Fi router attached to the modem. That is what this product is, it attaches to your modem and makes the Wi-Fi a wireless connection of internet that is now available throughout your house. Without the wireless connection you can probably only have internet on one device at a time which would be the device directly plugged into the time Warner modem. This product is good because it extends the range of the wireless throughout your house because it has 2 towers. One that plugs directly into your modem. The other tower you plug in for power and it bounces of the signal wirelessly. So keep the time Warner or get different internet.
