We're Wireless!

When you have two computers and two people wanting to use the internet at any given time, a wireless router seems like the perfect solution. Mr.R and I finally got one today from PC World.

Although AOL officially doesn't support the Belkin router, we got that one over the recommended Netgear one anyway. I (supremely optimistic, as usual) was confident that the lack of tech support from AOL (or AO-hell! as somebody put it!) would not deter me from configuring the router.

It wasn't simple. I struggled with the SSID and encryption key. With Google's help and other users experience with the Belkin/AOL issue, I finally got around the manual with all its jargon.

And whew, we are wireless.

Let's see how it works. Fingers crossed.
