00:15.04MacLeedsso, the completely transparent goal of getting my parent's wireless network up so I could use my laptop in my room was a complete success! :-)
00:18.21Marios_hehheheeh
00:18.30MacLeedsmorning Marios_
00:18.32Marios_what router are you using ?
00:18.37Marios_morning Leeds
00:20.29MacLeedsit's a no-name conexant-based all-in-one: ADSL modem, router (NAT, etc.) and WAP
00:20.40MacLeedsoh, and 4-port hub
00:20.45Marios_cool
00:21.03MacLeedsnot bad for about 80 quid all in
00:21.04Marios_I setup 2 wireless networks using Linksys wireless router
00:22.29MacLeedsnice thing on this one is that although it's a different make from mine, it uses the same chipset, hence the same interface, so if I need to do phone support for it it makes it much easier
00:22.31Marios_make sure you have it password protected cause neighbours will steal the bandwidth
00:22.46Marios_hehehehe
00:22.56MacLeedsnope
