TwentyFortyOne Blog

Ok so I’m a little late to the blog party, but in my opinion it’s fashionable. So to be fair, I’m just going to get right into what blogs are for…. RANTING.

I just got this fairly new looking D-Link router from my fiance’s parents, and I’m stoked! Oh how quick the excitement wears off… Originally I thought it was a Linksys router, which would have been great because I’ve been looking for a cheap replacement for my existing D-Link. I don’t have much experience with this whole router biz, but for me if it isn’t an Airport, I don’t deal with it. But for some time now I’ve been rollin with this shitty D-Link that was gifted to me, so I don’t complain.

When I got home last night expectations were high for my soon-to-be tits wi-fi connection, so I wanted to jump right in and set it up. Quick fix, right? It’s just a router, right? Before I knew it I had invested over an hour trying to get all of the “permissions” and “MAC addresses” right just so I could click “Connect” and watch my bars light up… Not so lucky.

In closing, I’ve heard some not-so-encouraging things about D-Link routers in general, so I think from now on I’ll just do my part to avoid them all together. So if someone wants to trade a Linksys or Airport for one, BRING IT!

P.S. Major thanks to my dear friend Ben Diggles for getting me all set with wordpress! Who knew that with iChat, and an afternoon of patience, I too could have a blog?..
