Uh-oh...

[conuly]

So, I finally bought me a router. And I got it *all the way home* before I realized that I need ethernet cables for it to work. (It also can function wirelessly, but I need a something-or-other for that too, I believe)

I don't have ethernet anything. My modem plugs straight into my laptop or the big computer via a USB cord.

And I paid too much for this router, I know, I know.

Dang it.

So I haven't opened the box yet. I want to be able to return it if, say, one of my friends (or my Uncle Gabriel) should pop up and offer to send me a decent router with all the necessary accoutrements.

In other news, I'm apparently scheduled to take a CPE tomorrow at noon. There's no way. I'm babysitting tomorrow at noon. Besides, I'm fairly certain that I'm exempt from those or something, so I have to fix this. Damn mail service, fucking up when I get news of stuff.

Yes, it works fine. :-) I'd have to double-check to be sure, but I think that a G router slows down to B speeds for all users if any connected user is using B -- that is, if there's one B user and three or four G users, they all get B speeds. I'm not positive about that, though.

Yeah, that's what I've heard about G routers and B cards, similar to USB 2.0 and 1.1/1.0. I just wasn't sure whether B routers would recognize G cards.
