New Router on the Way

13:57.48 - Sunday 1st July 2007   (Link to This Entry)

It seems my trusty old Linksys WRK54G is on it's last legs, with frequent disconnects that require a power cycle every day or so. Time to get the old wallet out again and buy a new router.

K and I went in to PC World yesterday and looked at the N version and associated PCMCIA card, but the staff would only knock £20 off the combined £200+ price tag despite my best Dominic Littlewood impression, so I made my excuses and left. K bought a nice wireless mouse/keyboard combo, however.

Fishing around the Internets again this afternoon, I decided to get the same router Bootblock bought recently, and eBuyer turned out to be cheapest, with the Netgear WNR854T at £86 and free delivery. An order was placed, and it should be here in the next few days.
