Netgear, I tell y’ Bless them, Netgear sent the replacement router. No base stand but that’s OK. Plugged it in, got to working… Slowly… For a few hours… … until it died. I have absolutely no idea what the problem is but: It’s not the DG834N range itself – when I originally bought one it […]

Netgear problems After a rather stressful week, well frustrating rather than stressing, I am finally getting somewhere… Netgear WND3300 I had already sorted a returns for this router but while I was on the phone to support anyway I went through them with this one.

Netgear DG834N issues My thoughts on this hardware combination: (Insert strings of your worst expletives) Yep, that about sums it up. Darned thing has been flaky from the first day I got it, lately though it’s really starting to hack me off. The router itself is great. The problem is the wn311b – and it’s

2008 site update I used to revise my site every May, but as it gets bigger and bigger it’s harder to do. Plus, while I’m OK with the code, I’m not artistically minded, so complete designs are in there with pulling teeth :S Anyway, it’s about time I revamped the place, starting with adding a
