Wow, never realized that I hadn't gotten back to this ... the Linksys worked for less than 48 hours, then refused to connect any wireless device to the internet. I reset everything back to factory out of the box three times, with no success. I made several two hour long phone calls to some idiot in India who insisted her name was "Brittany," three online chats with someone more realistically named Sanjeev26802, and told them all to get bent when they suggested that I needed $30/hr tech support instead of the free I just bought this piece of crap kind.

Bitch went back into the box and back to the store.

That was less than a week after the initial purchase, mind you.

Which brings us to today. Because of momwolf's health condition, I need to spend more time with her, time that I would ordinarily be spending back in my room, hunched over a computer. So, off I went to the Evil Empire, grabbed the cheapest Belkin in the store (given the sterling success of the previous Linksys) and brought it home.

Five minute install, and here I am in the living room, surfing happily.
