It's always something with computers

I've been using a Dynex wireless router, but its range isn't ideal for Mom's MacBook in the other room. After some research I went out and bought a Netgear N300 wireless router today.

I just installed it (easy as pie, as advertised) and it seems to have lengthened the range remarkably. Where Mom got between 2-3 bars with the Dynex, the signal from the Netgear gadget seems to be hovering between 3 and 4. Good. I was getting tired of saying "I don't know" when asked why the MacBook kept dropping off the network. "Sunspots" is an unsatisfactory answer, I'm told.
