I've wanted a I Pad for awhile, they look good and convenient to use.
But I am still on cable so first I needed a wireless router first. I've resisted buying one for a couple of years because of two reasons. Firstly I knew when I bought a wireless router, it would a pig to get to work. Everything I buy doesn't work. Over the years, it takes days / weeks for anything to start to work. Phone calls, stress etc. The second reason is my Dad is a *mod edit: That word - in any form - isn't allowed* when it comes to anything happening that doesn't involve him watching the tv or calling fresia out of somebody. So I knew it would be a pain in the arse getting one. So while everybody at work talked about their I Pad or tablets or whatever, I always felt I was getting left behind.
So this week I buy a wireless router. Not expensive. Thought I would give it a go. Took it home, Didn't work. Got some orange flashing light instead of blue. I read the instructions which were as normal written by some absolute twat. Did some research on the internet. Still didn't work. Over the last few days I have fiddled about without success. I finally gave up. Went back to my normal modem and that didn't work. So I had to ring the help line and because the phone line is in my Dad's name, he had to answer some security questions. So he had to mute the ******* TV for 10 seconds and answer this guys questions.
Once that was over, it was pretty simple getting back on the internet. Once it got working my Dad said if I ever get a wireless router again he would cancel the phone line. He gave me some honeysuckle, a right mouthful. I shouldn't have bought something I didn't know a great deal about. I should have been happy with what I had. Why did I want anything else ?
I never said anything. I went upstairs, got the wireless router, took it into the back yard and took a hammer to it. Smashed the ******* to pieces !
So yeah all great !
