LilacRose v1.0: Going Wireless

Going Wireless

I recently set up a wireless network in my house. I did this shortly after purchasing a Mac iBook. (I had been wanting a laptop, but I also wanted to learn some new things. So I bought the iBook instead of a PC laptop. I've never really dealt with Macs all that much, so I decided this little laptop would be a good place to start.)

At first, I was unsatisfied with the wireless reception in certain parts of the house. I expected a little better after all I had heard about the wonders of wi-fi.

So, I ended up buying one of those antenna boosters for my wireless router. That seemed to help quite a lot. The signal is still a bit weak in the living room, but at least I can get a consistent signal now.

One thing I can say...it's nice to not have to sit up at the PC when you want to read some blogs or browse the web.

Uptown Girl,

I really do like it! It's different in a lot of ways and I've had to get used to different ways of doing things. But I'm learning. I don't think I've even scratched the surface yet, but I'm more "Mac literate" than I was a month ago. :-)

Rammer,

I've been leaning back on some pillows with the iBook in my lap, just browsing all evening. It's really nice...especially when you're not feeling all that great.

Good for you! I've never used a Mac, but I recently got a laptop. I just got the wireless card and a wireless access point to setup the network. I have a DSL modem/router from my ISP, so didn't need a wireless router. I hope it's not too complicated...

And I look forward to blogging and surfing from the easy chair too.
