FON Router

Monday, July 17th, 2006

I received my FON router today and it already gave me some problems. When I plugged it in, the power light didn’t stop blinking, a condition which the Google results called “bricked”. I found a solution on the FON boards and was able to get it up and running again, though. I can’t believe they sent a bad router, but I guess their demand probably sky-rocketed when they started selling the routers for $5.

Anyway, it looks like it is up and running, and I was able to register it, so I guess I’m good to go. I’m going to be running two wireless networks for right now, since they don’t have a concept of local users, which I need for Angela to get online. Apparently that feature is in the works, but I guess we’ll see.
