July 30, 2006 in General

I have been having a Wireless router since last December. But unfortunately, I was not able to create a Wifi home network due to the fact that I could not connect it to my DSL modem. The modem that I had bought only had a USB output and the router needed a ethernet connection. But I was [...]
