Val’s PC and MAC

Reading time: < 1 minute...

I tried to help Val set-up her Mac laptop so it would talk to her Netgear wireless router. What I hadn’t realised was that you don’t necessarily need a PC connected to the router in order to access the router wirelessly from elsewhere – you just have to configure the router correctly in the first place. I suppose that’s logical really, but I’d always assumed that you needed a ‘master’ PC that was physically connected to the router – Doh!

…every day
is a learning
opportunity…

So, I’ve learned something today about PCs (and that’s a good thing!)

Val now has her Netgear router plugged into the mains in the downstairs study and she can now access the internet from anywhere in the house – interestingly, I can access it too, two doors away – albeit with a very poor signal.
