Tomorrow I go wireless

[Rik]

It's true, Diss, In's managed to tune into both the Light Programme and the Home Service.

Wireless is very easy, and you have a lot of people to help mess it up sort it out, so you have no worries, as you can see from the posts above. Just remember to use a safety net if you are not using wires, in case you fall 

[Sebby]

Glad you got it, Diss. It certainly looks like a cool little device.

[Tina]

Yes I would recommend it to anyone

[Simon]

Glad to hear you got the Laptop, Diss.  You should be well practised by the time you go away! 

[Tina]

I am wireless well I think I am - I set it up and unplugged  the ethernet cable and it still works. The hardest bit was making it secure. I set it up as WPA as I've heard it's more secure the WEP. Works on my little lappy too, and when I click to connect it  says netgear and the  padlock next to it is locked, so presume it is secure.. so proud of my self.. i phone netgear support, but the poor lad didn't speak good English,  so I worked it out myself .. go me

Well done Diss , Netgear has a notorious reputation for lack of support.

Glad you are all sorted.

[Tina]

if the padlock is locked on my lappy and i had to enter the password I am secure aren't I?

[Rik]

Yes you are, Diss. Well done. 

[Tina]

I can't stop smiling I know it's a little thing, but I've had so much hassle this week, and I did it on my own 

[Rik]

Take pride in all you've achieved, it's been a difficult week but you've come out of it with a lot of bonuses. 

[Tina]

I maybe wrong, but pages seem to be loading faster?

[Rik]

It's always possible, Diss, you've probably got a different chipset in the new router.

Well done Diss , I told you if I could do it, anyone can..

[Sebby]

Congratulations, Diss.

[Lance]

Great news, Diss! We said you would be fine!

[Tina]

while i like my little lappy and I'm still dreaming of an apple mac  laptop, but at £699 I'm am going to be waiting a very long time 

[Sebby]

They've certainly got the look. I drool over anything Apple.

[Tina]

oh me too. A friend and I went into an apple shop the other day so I could play lol .. better start saving. Do you have an apple then?

[Sebby]

Nope, I love my PC too much to make the switch, but I do like Apple stuff a lot... I feel they get the important things right.

[Tina]

yeah, I'm torn. I stared off on a linux machine ( was built free for me) then I wanted to be like my friends and have windows, so we did a partition on the linux and got windows ME. That went to computer heaven, and I got my first apple, a mac mini, and still got it It was a breath of fresh air, no virus's to worry about ( and yes I know you still have to be careful) BUT i could get a windows  laptop a lot cheaper. But these days I don't know what a good windows lap top is, (how much to spend, you can get one for £300)  and there is still the virus worry.. hmm

[Sebby]

A lot of the cheap laptops are decent, especially if it's something like an Acer. Sometimes they are a bit low on RAM, in which case it's worth adding a bit more yourself, but otherwise they are generally good. A free antivirus like AVG or Avast will do the trick.
