Soooo Everyone Loves Wifi...

[amarie24]

Because wifi means FREE.

I can surf the Internet and do other things on Bleepy as much as I please for free so long as I have a wifi. I can play with Bleepy until she needs to go to sleep (translation: until she needs to be charged). So that's what wifi is all about...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...


/Amarie is poor and has never had a smartphone before, much less a laptop...I don't even have a wireless computer. My computer is a desktop with a cord.

Let's start with the really basics. When you look at your computer, there should be a cable running out of it that has a plug on it that looks a little like what corded telephones plugged into. If you have a router, you should be able to trace from the computer to one object, and then from that object to the cable modem (which has the cable coming out of it that looks like the cable you plug into a cable box or TV). Is that how you're set up? If you can gave from computer to cable modem, then you have no router and need to get one.

-nods- Oh yes, that's how I'm set up! I have a modem (?) with a cord to it that keeps the Internet up and running!

...And so this means I have no router (for wireless Internet, which is wifi?) and I need to get one? : /

So your computer is directly connected to the cable modem, then? You're going to need a router - they're quite inexpensive, and you can sometimes get them from a thrift store, with the correct power adapter, for very little, indeed. Then we can set up WiFi so that Bleepy can feed off that while you're home.

A router! I shall search for one for my darling Bleepy! And I am oh-so happy to find that they're relatively cheap. Thanks, Silver!

Also, the latest ATLA thread is going again. Pebble & I are talking about sexuality & romance in regards to Aang & Katara. Please feel free to pop over and pitch in! I...kinda just left a wall of text that was more speculative than anything.

[silveradept]

I went looking for the wall of text and did not find it. Maybe I just do not know which thread to go to.

[amarie24]

Oh shoot! Sorry, Silver! It was in my "First Smartphone Ever" thread! Here you are, friend! http://amarie24.dreamwidth.org/36398.html

OHOHOHO I am too late :3
It looks like you're all squared away with needing a router.

[amarie24]

Aww yeah, it's okay Red! I thank you all oh-so-so much for your help, though! I do thank you! :D

And hopefully it'll be this weekend when I get a router and a phone cover (the plastic one that comes with my Bleepy is coming off. Gaahhh! Gotta protect Bleepy's screen!!!)

[redsixwing]

You're welcome, wish I could've done more. :)

Protect the Bleepy! \o/

[amarie24]

Oh no, no, you're fine! Mom is taking me tomorrow to get a router and hopefully a phone cover for Bleepy! YAY! So I'll most certainly need your help again soon, if you don't mind! :D

Protect the Bleepy, yes!!

[redsixwing]

Not in the least!
If it'd be less belabored to do this by chat or by phone, we can work something out - PM me if you'd prefer one of those?

\o/ Hooray for new router and phone case!

[amarie24]

Oh, I'll definitely PM you to see about working something out! Uhh...the router & phone cover have been delayed until hopefully this coming Tuesday, though. The fucking inhaler money took it. -_____-

I declare that breathing clearly is not as important as wifi. -_____-

[redsixwing]

Graaaaaaah. D: No rush, I'll be here later too.

Yup. All the hugs, all of them.

[amarie24]

Yeah, you're right. You're right. No rush. Noooooo rush. And hugs! All the hugs, thank you! :D
