Wireless enabled home :-)

I recently switched from a desktop machine at work to a laptop. They issued me a HP Compaq nc6320 laptop. Still trying to get accustomed to the laptop keyboard and the mouse as well. I think it will take me some time, so please excuse any typos in this article. This reminds me of the message "Excuse typos, sent from wireless device", that one typically gets for emails sent from a wireless device like blackberry.

Given that I have a laptop at my disposal, the next thing I have done is setup a wireless router at my home. This gives me the freedom to work from any room in the house while being connected to the internet. I purchased a DLink DI 524 (DLink DI 624 is still not available in India, mentioned by the DLink distributor). Setting up the router was fairly straight forward. It had a neat and clean setup wizard and paper documentation explaining the steps. The router provides 4 LAN points in addition to wireless support. This allows me to connect my existing desktop at home to the wireless router.

I think wireless technology is neat and it amazes me! Probably you want to try something similar at your home.

I do have something like that at home. Now all you need is a Mac instead of a windows machine. :-)
