Linksys No More

Our Linksys wireless router broke down some time last week or so. As a result, we could not log onto the internet without being 'cabled'.

I got so frustrated with this because there were occasions when I promised WF some computer time and he couldn't log on to his preferred sites (now he is very much into Youtube - searching for various video clips of Thomas & Friends, The Magic School Bus, Mr Bean etc).

So when we finally had some one hour to spare last Saturday, we went to Challenger at Funan the IT Mall and grabbed a new router. There was some $10 discount for members, I think.

So, the new router is now a Buffalo. I hope it lives up to its name.

Hmm...Lets exchange routers.

I believe your Buffalo router is too high powered la. From your living room to your bedrooms and back, is less than 15m, therefore why do you need a Buffalo level router?
Harh?

Me, on the other hand, has to contend with thick walls (between living room and hobby room downstairs) and at least 20m to the edge of the garden. It is also about 80m to the common playground.

Perhaps your Buffalo will enable you to surf from downstairs? Or you like to share network with all in the block of leased flats?


just kidding la...
Enjoy your new router.
