I have a shitty cable modem (bad wifi, drops and so on). Would a possible solution to get better wireless be to just buy a router? Unfortunately I can't replace the modem. Someone I talked to said I should get a wifi modem, but again, can't replace etc...

You should be able to turn off the wifi part of the router and plug in your own. So yes, if the crummy shitbox your ISP gave you is bad, get something better.

Wait, so I couldn't just plug in a new router and ignore the wifi the modem sends out? I unfortunately can't replace the modem the ISP provided. I assume I would need to disable the modem's wifi as well (questions herpderp I am not savvy).

Like right now, there's no router as it stands.

Yes there is; your modem is one of the router+modem combos that are really popular now. Either you turn off the router portion of your modem (ask your ISP how) and plug in your own, or do what you said and ignore the wifi that your router+modem gives out.

How can I hide/disable theese Topics/Q-messages that comes every time I open Mirc http://i.imgur.com/zAZiWSe.png

Those are so called welcome messages. (sent as notices) I guess you could add Q to your ignore list.

Why use mirc when you can use irssi or quassel or xchat

@Furai Thx! I Ignored Q and edited the ignore in Adress Book (ALT+B) to only ignore notices.

@Fawkzy @Bistoufly I'm curious about other IRC clients that perhaps would have a cleaner GUI, so I will try the ones you mention But I have all the functionality I need in Mirc.

I'll second hexchat (a continuation of x-chat). Very clean and simple, but still very functional.
