WiFi @ Home

The long wait is over.. got my linksys 802.11b wireless router today.. could not wait to try it out.. hurried home after buying a 220v - 110volt converter. it booted up in seconds.. wonder what software it runs (my IOS isdn router takes at least two minutes). It throwed up a configuration webpage on the default IP address and allowed me to do some basic tweaks.. Voila !!! my laptop detected a wireless network .. :-).. this is really cool.. This post is carried over this WiFi link from my living room :-)



I should get rid of the ethernet cables lying on the floor.. need to install some security stuff on it so that my neighbours do not get into the my WiFi zone.

Thanks Midhun and Asif for helping me buy this router.. :-)

Wow, you lucky thing.

I am gate craching in your place, next I am in Bangalore and want to surf - but not in those shady cyber cafes.
