Vonage Router Fun
A couple of days ago I contacted Vonage due to an inoperative router. I was 50/50 on whether I’d continue using the service or not, having in the past waded through the mire that is their Indian tech support folks and their written-in-stone scripts I was ready to just cancel my account if there was … Continue reading Vonage Router Fun

D-Link DI-524 dead now
*Update* Over the Christmas Holidays (December 2006) I replaced the unit that my mother purchased with a WRT54G as well.

Uploading Pictures to Gallery2
