Into the fire

For the past fortnight, I’ve been harassing my supplier about the availability of the Linksys WRT54G2 wireless router, to no avail. Seems as if this product is harder to obtain than hens’ teeth. In turn, my male offspring was asking me every now and then when the router would arrive. Today, as luck would have it, I chanced upon this shop in one of the shopping malls here and spotted the familiar Linksys boxes. Thank my lucky stars, they happened to have one WRT54G2 left. The price was good, so I bought it on the spot. I had just the right amount of cash, and left the shop with an empty wallet.

I was also able to obtain the Linksys USB Adapter, and so here comes my trial by fire—I’ve never actually set up my own wireless network before (I’m a wired kind of guy). I guess there’s always a first time, but I’m going to choose a day where I have an hour or two free, and then plunge into the installation.

I’ll keep you posted on how it goes. Wish me luck.
