A few days ago, Globe finally came to the house to answer our application for a faster broadband connection. At first, I wasn’t really happy to see them because they’ve been more than a week late for the agreed date of installation. (In fact, I wasn’t just indifferent towards them. I was really frustrated.) It was only after they left that it all sank in, that, yes, we now have a faster connection.
So right after dinner, andrea quickly tried surfing the net to see how much different it was from the previous service we had. She was happy… and of course I was too… until I realized we overlooked something important - the wireless router configuration.
You see, we already configured our router using our Smartbro antenna’s address. And now that we’ve switched to Globelines, the router will need re-configuring. Unfortunately none of us could remember how we did it before. It took another 30 minutes or so to find the router’s manual from God knows where. Then it took another 30 minutes or so before we could completely re-configure the blasted device. But in the end, it paid off.
I was so happy to try the dos command line to check out my ip configurations and finally confirm the connection. And YES, the new connection is great! Woohoo!
