random post #657825
In the wee hours of a sunday morning, i am signing up for mcdonald's membership, amongst searching for info on my new ADSL modem router. This thing that came this afternoon should be one of the least worries on my mind, BUT noooooo it has managed to rob away at least 4 hrs of my time meant for studying or recuperating on my sniffling nose or my dinner out with my family. It loses connection with the web so i can't surf after a particular timing, yet to figure it out, initially it was 15mins, then in the region of 40mins and now it's been up for say 1hr or so. And i've not changed a single setting. Just resetting my computer or disconnecting and connecting using the web interface for my router. Not a fantastic piece of thing, doesn't allow filtering MAC address for wireless clients, user guide is a screw up(conflicting info or lack of info). But my downloads work fine, surfing of a certain website still works fine. Trying hard to pin down the problem. Sigh. I do need to brush up on my knowledge again, been losing touch with IT stuff. My linksys router works better, however the wireless sucks. My brother gets 48Mbps with this free router that singnet gave. But it screws up all our connections. Firewall capability is not very user-friendly and blah blah. I have many many gripes. Ok back to logistic regression, supposed to finish it yesterday or rather before i sleep.
