I have been reorganizing the room that was our former bedroom into a game/play room. It’s coming together nicely as the TV, two game consoles, and the computer have been setup. Since the router is downstairs, I had to set up a wireles connection on the computer.

I did have a USB network adapter that -after trying for a few hours- could not get to work. So, I implemented Plan B and to use the game wireless router instead. I plugged it in and so far have had no real problems. Having this computing/game setup works really well for me since we spend the majority of our time upstairs. It also makes me have an appreciation for WiFi that much more.

I also use my laptop quite a bit during the day, so I use the WiFi connection a lot. The more I use WiFi, the more I wish the whole city had wifi instead of a few select businesses. It would be nice to leave the house some and be able to work online somewhere else. Maybe more businesses will realize the benefit of offering WiFi at their location. If I were to set up a WiFi hotspot, I would check into using Cisco products. When I was in college for computer networking, Cisco received high praise from our teachers. Hopefully as technology progresses, more business will come aboard the wifi train and offer it to patrons.
