No longer singing the wireless router blues!

[Pilgrim]

I live in a neighborhood full of trailer trash, none of whom has been past the 8th grade and all the networks are encrypted.  Plus I bet we have more guns than your neighborhood.

Good for them, if they're alert enough to set up security on those signals!

Maybe my neighborhood has the means to buy more expensive guns.  I have discovered that since I bought most of mine 20 years ago, they're worth a lot more now than they were then.  Maybe I'll thin the heard and turn a couple into that Gretsch Thunderjet bass.

BTW - my wireless signal still shows "Excellent" strength and it's working beautifully.  My TV now can run Netflix off the wireless signal without a glitch or pause...previously it was a real crapshoot and would usually drop out at least twice and need to reload during a movie.  I'm VERY happy with that ASUS router.

I've been thinking about bumping mine up as well for the streaming issues you mentioned.  But I just remembered that my there is a wired Cat 6 jack behind my entertainment system - sometimes it's nice to have a new, modern house.  I could do without the new, modern mortgage payment though

I agree, cheapo routers are crap, but that ASUS costs as much as a new bass! 
I'd better use wire, I know it needs some work, but its trouble-free once you install it.
