Belkin Wireless Router

Belkin Wireless Router

Or, the importance of getting your cabling right! I had my wife pick up a Belkin wireless router at Target on her way home. Are you old enough to remember when you had to call half a dozen computer stores before you could find one that even know what a "router" was? Installation was really rough--until I figured out that I had somehow created a loop where the Ethernet cable going to the bridge box that feeds my work notebook and the laser printer was now feeding back into the Belkin. If I had put a network analyzer on it, it would have been doubtless most amusing. Once that problem was solved, everything worked just fine.
