Our old, 802.11b router died after I moved it from my desk to the basement. I put it there to get better reception, but it started acting ‘funny’. First, it would start dropping the WAN connection to the internet. Then, it wouldn’t assign IP addresses to any computer on the network. So, I assume the DHCP server went wonky in it as well. So, wired or unwired, it no longer worked as a router. Maybe the switch function still works, but it did its duty well. By the manufacture date, it looks like it was built in 2000. I remember buying it dirt cheap just when g was starting to come out. I think it cost, after rebate, something like $15.

So, now it is gone and we have wireless g in the house. N means Not a Standard Yet, so I decided against it. I really don’t see the need for greater that 54m/sec at this point.

Still feel like crap, doing other things distracts us from our misery. Nasty little cold/flu. It is the first time we have both been sick at the same time. Usually one or the other gets sick first, so at lease one person can take care of Glenn. Not this time. With a little store brand DayQuil, we at least can function. And N Y BigFuc’ingQ will help us get some sleep tonight.
