No, dear, I don't know...
What the router is doing nailed to the floor.
Well, actually, I do.
We have an ancient Linksys Linux firmware Wireless-G router. Like, seriously old. Probably four years or so. Pushes a lot of PCs, a Wii, a G1 and a 360. It's been going downhill. Can't get updates right, torrents quit working. So, yesterday I speedtested it after I got off work.
On a 30mb connection, I got 1.2mb. I reset the router.
What happened next is of course an exaggeration, but it went something like my favorite line from an incredibly foul poem I know.
The selection was tough, I admit,
But it did not dismay him one bit,
Then, with arse thrown aloft
He suddenly coughed....
And collapsed in a shower of ****.
'Bout what happened. It gave up the ghost. So, I removed my fried, martyred router from the network, and my wife and I picked out a nice dual-band Wireless-N with storage port. However, before she got home, I had my revenge on that bloody router.
I nailed it to the floor with a six inch long railway spike and my deadblow hammer.
Basically, I had to prove the router wouldn't work any more. She was pretty well convinced, but I just made sure there was no argument. New router works well, by the way. She's happy too.
I just wishI didn't have to pry it up and repair the hole in the linoleum tomorrow.
