Well, as far as simply setting up a router so that you can connect to the 'net with more than one device simultaneously is concerned, the concept's well-nigh idiotproof (presuming you don't accidentally buy a router with lousy firmware). Of course, someone will be suggesting that you map drives across the network and other interesting things, which - instead of being idiotproof - actually causes idiocy.

Yeah, I remember cursing under my breath a time or two. Probably in four or five languages...

...but did you at least curse softly under your breath? My collies, poor dears, can recognize software boxes and they hide whenever my oldest son picks one up.

I got enough out of this review to know that I'll be calling Gary, my computer security friend, to come over and do all the swearing. I don't think I could handle it.

Then it's a good thing that updating the firmware is relatively easy. Now, we just have to hope that the connection stays up long enough to download the new firmware...

and before upgrading the firmware, it never went a day without cutting off for atleast 5 minutes. It wasn't until I upgraded that I stopped having problems with it...
