What's everyone up to right now?

I am laughing out loud so hard at the fly episode of Breaking Bad.

$94.00 Later and I have a new router. Gotta head to school now. I will get it set up and running when I get home.

Router as in Internet router?
If so, what kind of magical device did you get that it set you back 94 bucks!

I've never seen you post in the Mafia subforum before! Do you just search the word "router" every day in hopes of educating people on them? I won't make fun of you if you do. It's a noble cause. Nobody should pay more than they have to for a router. 

Okay, I now realize that I thought Judi posted this in her Mafia game sign-up thread. But I put a lot of work into this so I'm still posting it.

if you haven't guessed by now...

I am laughing out loud so hard at the fly episode of Breaking Bad.

BB fans are pretty divided on that episode. I personally love it. Everyone complains that it's too slow and drags. To be honest, a lot of episodes in Seasons 1 and 2 are more boring than the Fly episode. Not a lot happens literally, but it's a great look inside of Walt and Jesse's heads. 

Spoilers if you read this before finishing the episode:

Not to mention that Walt nearly spills the beans about Jane...that was a pretty tense moment that people tend to overlook when complaining about the episode.

Netgear routers are a mixed bag. If I recall correctly, Cisco bought out Netgear a few years back, and their SOHO products have suffered since then. It's been my impression that the pricier netgear routers include a lot of junk that is unnecessary. But a router lasts a good few years, so whether it's $50 or $100, I don't suppose it makes much difference in the long run. The last router I bought was an Arris model that xfinity/comcast uses a lot of, and I picked it up on ebay for $50. The only drawback to it is that the wifi password is preset to this godawful long alphanumeric sequence. It's a good thing I don't have to enter that too many times! The newer cable modems from Xfinity have shorter, easy to remember passwords. The cable modem appears to be locked so that I can't make changes to it, but perhaps that's because I haven't opened up those screens by setting a personal password. It's unclear.

Anyway, best of luck with your new router. I know how agonizing the process of switching from one router to another can be, and I hope your transition is relatively painless.


ETA: The wifi on my Arris is shit. Apparently from what I've read, that's typical of this model (TG862G), but I don't use wifi much, so it's okay. It seemed to have no problem streaming a netflix movie to my tv, so I guess it's alright. The problems I had may have been related to using a cheap micro sized USB network adapter. Since then I've gone 'wired' and the speed is much improved.

I was on the edge of my seat, expecting him to tell the truth of what he did.

Okay...

@ Alex: It's a Netgear AC1200 Smart WiFi Router Dual Band Gigabit with external antennas.
@ Poca: I set it up just like the old one was. The neighbors will still continue to believe there is an FBI surveillance Van #13 in the neighborhood

Naming SSID's are so much fun!

Drinking a cup of ginger tea and getting ready to turn in for the night. For some reason I've had more energy than usual today. It could just be a one day blip on the radar, or it could signal the start of a manic episode. Only time will tell. I hope, instead, that it's just a turn for the better.
