Un-wiring “The Pad”

For over a year now, I’ve been using my old trusty D-Link router (D-Link DI-704P Cable/DSL Router) in my apartment to network my two PCs. But when I got my laptop a few months back, the wiring became a little cluttered because I need to carry along with me some 20 feet of cables (at the couch in front of the TV, at the dining table and in my bedroom). My brother even tripped on it twice and thank God my laptop wasn’t hurt so bad though I thought that time will come someday.

The logical step was to get a wireless router and thanks to the free Amazon GC’s, I now have that Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router everyone is talking about.

Unfortunately, the power adaptor that came with it was only for 110V. I thought the ones they were selling in there have auto-voltage for 110/220V power outlets. The old adaptor from the D-Link was compatible with it so I used that one.

The only other problem is that my cordless phone downstairs is interferring with the wifi signal everytime it rings (same frequency?). I think there’s some settings I need to change to avoid that but I’m a little clueless.

Anyway, if you happen to pass by Bangkal, just look for the wifi router named “YugaTech.com” (advertising the blog huh?) and maybe I could share the password. :)
