Ben Gamblin Online - Blog: The joy of wireless |
The joy of wireless05 Jun '08, 17:21Just under two weeks ago, Kate and I bought a Nintendo Wii. In order to use it too it's fullest, I also re-instated WiFi on my home network.When we moved home back in August, for some unknown reason my Wireless Access Point decided to stop working. It hadn't been that reliable anyway so it wasn't a big surprise. Fortunately the use of wireless hasn't been such a big issue since there is a phone point in the office meaning my computers could be wired into the router. For that reason I didn't bother replacing it. The only real issue was Kate's laptop, but we got used to either using a very long network cable or just using the laptop in the office. However, it's obviously impractical to have long cables running from the office, across the hall and into the living room in order to network the games machine so I decided to get myself back on the airwaves with an Linksys WRT54GL Wireless Router. Now, for the first time ever, I am experiencing how truely liberating using a wireless connection can be. Not only can I now surf the internet easily from the sofa again (through the Wii or Kate's laptop), but on a nice evening like this evening, I can sit out on our balcony (as I am right now) and take in the fresh evening air whilst writing in my blog! I love technology!
