Harwood Butcher Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 My internet is currently down at my house (I'm at school right now) and I don't know when It'll be back up because my router is broken or something and I might not get another one until after the holidays. So if you don't see me post for a while...that's why. Sorry if this is in the wrong section...I figured since it deals with my computer, that it should go here.

Chris Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Shit. I almost had a heart attack. I saw the title and expected this to be about the entire Internet going down, like someone had broken it. Imagine that, no Internet!! Well that's gonna suck if you miss all the voting for the awards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Why don't you just screw the router for now and connect it directly to the internet. Get an ethernet cable, stick one end in your computer, one end in the internet connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstarrem Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 He probably has a router/modem in one, I've seen that a lot here and didn't know it was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Ah, too bad, it's always better to keep things seperated, since if one thing fucks up, you can still use the other. Although that would work if the modem fucked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 There are other ways of connecting to the net. Like HSDPA card, via mobile phone, or good ol' 56k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yeah you can use your phone as a internet thing..i can with mine anyways (nokia 6280), but it'l cost heaps I think...I think the speed is around dialup speed..so only if ur desperate, you know.. or you could go to a LAN cafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, GPRS is twice faster than the dial up, but costs a fortune. Newer phones have EDGE and/or UMTS which are much faster standards (EDGE is a next-gen GRPS btw). Still, not that I would connect via them, I don't have sooo much money I dunno what to do with it. But HSDPA cards are nice. I used one on a vacation and a few days in hospital. For surfing&IM they're really good (up to 1.8mbps, tho you should be happy with any speed you get) but ofc you trade mobility for speed. Still, I'd have no doubt if I'd have to choose between 28.8k or no net at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Well I'm back. I just got the new router today. Shit. I almost had a heart attack. I saw the title and expected this to be about the entire Internet going down, like someone had broken it. Imagine that, no Internet!! Is that even possible? Why don't you just screw the router for now and connect it directly to the internet. Get an ethernet cable, stick one end in your computer, one end in the internet connection. That's what my mom did for the computer downstairs, but I use my own computer upstairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
