Ideally by Friday (when Chris is next scheduled to be in my apartment so he can set it up). If not by Friday, then no real hurry except whenever it gets here.
I just remembered that I have a wireless access point, which is not a router, but could possibly work if your setup currently has a wired router. How do you make connection to the interweb now? Are you plugging into a box that has multiple plugs for other computers? Or is there only one place for a computer to plug into?
I hop onto someone else's connection who lives in the apartment above mine. That is, I'm basically stealing their signal, except that they must've wised up or something because the past few days, I've been unable even to pick up that signal.
In my old apartment, I had a cable connection, but whenever it went out I would hop onto someone else's signal until the cable connection cleared up.
So you don't have internet service in your home? You need service in which to plug a router. I thought you were asking about adding wireless to your setup, not setting up a setup to start with.
Then I'll ask you. How do you connect? Is it directly into the cable box, or is there an intermediate box into which you could plug in multiple network cables?
If the latter, you have a router, and we can use my access point. If the former, we need to get a hold of a router.
Will you be home tomorrow night? It would be peachy keen if I can have everything set up before Clara arrives so that we can simply rocket out of the city on our trip.
Let me know when is good to stop by (if there is such a time).
A wireless router is basically a multifunction device consisting of a wireless access point and a router built into the same piece of hardware. Chris has an access point and I have a router. Using both of these together will accomplish the same thing. I will bring it by DeBaun.
Coolies, I'll bring my access point and we should be able to get this going. It may take a little longer... setting up two devices instead of one, but if Elizabeth if there before you arrive maybe all can be finished before you show up.
I guess you didn't stop by. Anyway, I will be back at the apartment by 8:00 with the rental car so if you arrive after 7 but before 8, that should be fine.
Yeah, I was most of the way there when I realized that you'd probably go home last night, and that would be better.
A bitter side note is that on the way, I saw somebody had thrown out a stack of vinyl records which I meant to look through on my way back. On my way back, I saw somebody else leafing through them, then walking away with a stack. As I neared, I so the guy had taken them ALL!

If so, can you stop by rehearsal at DeBaun tonight to give it to me?
