I'm kinda tired of dealing with a Belkin/Cisco/Linksys remote device for laptops used by my computer. If it hadn't have been for a lightning storm blowing out every Netgear router/adapter that I had, I probably wouldn't even be in this fix. This generates a new problem. I want to be able to utilize the stability of a Netgear, without the exploding from lightning storms part.

This is why Sparky was dubbed Sparky in the first place. So far, every Netgear adaptor I've owned has been struck repeatedly by lightning. Bear in mind, that these adapters were wireless and were blown when the computer was simply not plugged in at all. NOT PLUGGED IN AT ALL.

It seems to be the hardest point to get across because people are idiots. they don't seem to think it's possible for lightning to flash through closed windows much less strike twice in the same place. This is why I do commissions anyway, to maintain tech whereas I normally wouldn't be able to do so. Lets face it. My family have been complete morons and blow money on crap no one needs. Dad included.

As for why I'm tired of the BCL systems, they're far inadequate and inferior to my computer's needs. I keep having to unplug the adapter to reset it which interferes with stable gameplay/streaming/whatever. If you don't have any trouble with Linksys/Belkin, then I'd really hate to see which Satan you sold your soul to in order for it to work properly. Just lining out the basics, that is the sum total of which I intend to work on correcting in the near future. Following up this upgrade, I'm going back to upgrade both Sparky and my current computer, which has thus far remained untouched by nature.

Speaking of Sparky, it was hit by lightning AGAIN. I had to change out a resistor. I'm glad I bought a computer repair kit early on last month.
