New DS Lite cover
Here’s version 2 of my DS Lite cover insert:
We all have Nintendo DS Lites now. One of the cool features of the DS is built-in wifi and internet gaming. The one gotcha is that it’s slow wifi, and with limited configurability. We want to play around with the wifi features, but don’t want to slow down or open up our in house network(s). So Nancy grabbed one of the spare WAPs and went about setting it up in the living-room exclusively for gaming use. How geeky is that. That makes 4 wifi networks in the house (the other 3 are due to a combination of the size of the house (not big.. just long) and the lame reception of my powerbook).
| Now, Nancy is not one to do a half hearted job… especially when network cables are involved. Here she is installing the WAP. FYI that’s a 12 foot ladder. | And here’s a shot of the cluster of WAPs/antennas. |

Update: The Netgear didn’t work out… so we used the Airport Extreme we had leftover.. it worked fine and we’re gaming online. See you on the WFC.
