And by "I have wireless, yay!" I actually meant, "I purchased a stinking router with a hardware defect that died on me."

Thankfully, technical support guy assured me that I was not cursed even though my previous router died on me, because my laptop had the same problems connecting.

So there. For once, it's not me.

On the other hand... stupid router. I hate you.

ETA: #(*&$@(*&#$

Also, I just checked Newegg's site, and for some reason, they won't give me a number for returning the damn thing, even though it didn't say anywhere on the product page that it couldn't be returned. Linksys' site also says that the product has to be returned to the retailer.

I hate everyone right now, particularly stupid stores that don't take back faulty products and stupid hardware companies that put out faulty versions and keep them out there even though they know that product line has problems. And, for that matter, stupid stores (again) for stocking said faulty version and not saying anything about it or allowing a return or refund!! ARGH!!!!

I am pretty sure it is illegal not to allow returns/refunds of defective equipment. It looks like this (http://www.newegg.com/CustomerService/ContactUs.asp) is the page with the contact info.

Yes, thankfully, I emailed them yesterday and they gave me an RMA so I could return the thing!

Jeez!
