I'm not quite a computer geek....

but I managed to hook up a wireless home network. It wasn't quite a "rout", as I only succeeded on the fourth try. Now Rhonna will be able to use her new laptop to log in to her classes in the reasonable calm of the basement while I'll be putting the boys to bed. I have yet to figure out how to let our two computers "talk" with each other, but it's not really necessary so I'm not in any hurry to tackle that right now. I did notice at the store that for another $100 I can get our printer to be part of the wireless set up (WLAN in geekspeak) so Rhonna can print directly from her computer.
