-=PCTechTalk=- Re: router hookup to laptop

Hi Chris
the router should have the brand name on the case in plain sight and probably 
on the bottom of it 
will be all the info needed, like model number, etc. to go to the manufactures 
web site and research 
it.

The will still probably need to get registered with the college to be able to 
get on the college 
network and submit assignments for the classes that require or allow it.

Blew a gasket huh. Well maybe it is time for your friend to cut the umbilical 
cord and let them be 
adults and solve the situation using their brains and resourcefulness, not to 
mention buying her own 
router. I am just a mean old Grandpa 8-). They want to PLAY grown up, time for 
them to learn it is 
not a game.



If she buys her another router, ask her to send me the old one. 8-)



Think I will go back to college and start a new course of study called "common 
sense". The papers 
that will be turned in for a BS graduation (no pun intended) should be 
hilarious and awesome. LMAO



Good Luck



Life is what happens in between plans.
