A Fit of Screaming Rage

Dec 13, 2006 23:16

I spent more than $100 on WRT54GL routers with the express intent of being able to wirelessly bridge my upstairs network to a new, hypothetical downstairs wireless network. The pending arrival of the new TiVo precipitated this. Tonight, I succeeded in "bricking" one of those routers. A firmware upgrade failed catastrophically, and now I can't connect to it at all. Now I have neither wireless bridging nor a second router to repurpose. Argh, argh, argh.

Oh, and the TiVo arrived a day early, so now I'll just have to console myself with that. And run a fifty-foot ethernet cable to it. *sigh*.

television, i hate computers, networking
