I have only 1 ADSL line but there are 3 person who want to go online simultaneously. 2 of them are using wireless enable laptops. The best way to share Internet connection is to install a wireless router. I got myself a Prolink WGR1004 wireless router to connect it to my present Aztech DSL600EU ADSL modem. I thought it would be easy to install. Just plug and play. But I was wrong.

The wireless router and the modem were not "shaking hands". There must be some settings in either the router, the modem, or both, to make them shake hands. I tried to configure both of them but in vain. I tried to ask many friends but most of them were busy because of the Chinese New Year. I tried to send to PC shops but all were closed for CNY holidays.

5 days passed. At last I found a shop which was opened for business after the CNY break. It was Creative Comp in Taman Idaman. Its Technical Manager Mr Hairuddin was really kind to attend to me immediately. He took a little while to successfully set up the connection (he is really technically capable).

Now I am running wireless and sharing connection with everyone at home. No more waiting and no more tapping inside the cramped room. It's great!
