Connected!


At last, after six months of faffing and fiddling I have a stable wireless connection! Yipeeeee :o)

The answer, the parting of a considerable sum of money for a new router.

It seems that as with most things, Vista had a particular problem with the old one, what doesn't Vista have a problem with is what I would like to know?

Anyway, problem solved, no more two hour sessions each morning trying merely to connect, no more disappearing connection at random intervals during the day necessitating yet more hours of fiddling and no more wires dragged half way around the flat just waiting for one of us to hook a foot into and land in a heap on the floor!

Hey, the new router even has lots of pretty blue flashing LCD's embedded in the front for entertainment, what more could a girl want?....ok, ok, those might just begin to get a little annoying over time but I couldn't resist!


**N.B. For Kitty, as requested, the answers to the 50 trax post are here.

Did you know that blue light can disturb your sleep patterns?

Thanks for the answers, turns out I only actually got 31, ah well.

"'forty something', obsessed with computers, cappuccino and motorbikes" - why didn't we meet before? ;-)

As for the wireless issues: I'm male and considered myself quite tech savvy. In the end, it appeared I was absolutely clueless :-)

Btw: Thanks for visiting my blog!

i have 4 flashing green ones - so distracting they have to be kept in a cupboard in case they set something off!

ps sent a comment just now that I think got lost - let me know if there's a funny one lurking around to do with The Stig

Are you always distracted by bright, shiny objects? ;-) What more could a girl want? Oh come now, if you want to talk about electronic objects that a girl could want you could think up a few things, I'm sure. (evil grin)

On another note, best wishes for the new set-up, as it sounds as though it has made your day.

What more could a girl want? Pink flashing lights, of course!
