no more wifi at home
well... according to all the information i could find online, my graphite AirPort is dead. Dead dead dead. I could send it away and get it fixed for $60, but truth is, I could buy a new one on eBay of that vintage for around the same price.
I thought I had another one in-hand, but it turns out, as usual, my best friend promised me something he wasn't ready to give up yet. "But I can give you a wired one!" -- Dude, I have like 30 wired hubs. The point is I dont want to cut holes in the wall and mount network boxes yet.
And I don't want to buy a new one. Yet. Things were going well in the whole "fix up the house" savings plan. $200 would get me a new one. Perhaps even with printer sharing.
Even the $60 would hurt at the moment.
Maybe I can fish wire thru the hole in the attic floor where the phone wire goes thru, which goes into the baby room closet. That would be a cheap temporary fix.
So I could get my fix. 2 days without wifi is killing me.
[Update] Amazon.com... Less than $100, 802.11g, includes 4-port 10/100 wired cablemodem router. Free shipping. Today is looking up.
