Going wireless..

Well the entire world is, isn't it? I still dont have too much funda on Bluetooth and other wireless technolgoies, but very recently I learnt something.

I had bought my DLink Wireless Router in one of the Black Friday deals and managed to configure it to my modem. Everythig started working just fine! Atleast for sometime. As I tried to configure the password for the SSID so that my wireless network is not intruded, I accidentally reset it. I also found out that the Firefox does not support some of the Java scripts that are used in the Admin Page of the wireless router,better use IE.
I ended up currupting the firmware on the router, or so I thought, which resulted in a peculiar problem. The wireless connecting was dropping every 15mins with great regularity. I had no clue and called up DLink support.

First try, I was asked to recheck the modem and see if it was working and whether it was dropping the connection.
Second try, after a few days, resulted in my changing the channel to 11 and still no solution.
On the third try a smart guy told me that there could be a conflict between the modem IP address and the Router IP address and surely enough it start working fine when I changed the Router IP.

Moral of the story, dont give up on the support keep calling and make sure you have a case id with you and refer it the next time. Additionally you can get the case id emailed to you.
