Wireless Internet

So. We recently moved and I have had the hardest time setting up my wireless internet. Usually I am pretty smart at all that setting up crap, but dang.. this one just about made me lose my mind.

I finally after much much trial and error... figured out that my new Dell computer didn't have a wireless card in it.. For Real? Do they really make them without those?

Yes, So after a little research I ran myself over to Walmart to pick up a wireless USB antenna thingy. After many many hours - still no wireless computing for me.

So tonight. I decided to try my hand at it one last time before taking the little thing back - tried it again and read the error message a little more clear.

"This wireless router can not connect with that modem. They are not compatible"

I thought hmm.. that is crazy.. then somehow it donned on me to look in the box that the modem came in from the cable company.. guess what is there?! Nothing but a CD to make the modem compatible with the wireless router.

LOL.

Whatever. I am wireless and can now move the computer out of my bedroom!

WooHooo!
