I just wanted to share something with you that I “discovered” yesterday! About a month or so ago we had to replace our router that we had been using for about 6 years. It really isn’t surprising considering that it had been running almost non stop that whole time. When we replaced it we decided to go with a wireless router this time since my husband has a new laptop that can connect to the wireless.

Since getting the new router the one thing that we hadn’t done was see just how good of a signal it gets in different areas of the house. Out here in the family room, which is where the router is, it obviously has a very strong signal. Out in the kitchen it still gets 5 bars, then when you turn the corner into the living room it goes between 4 and 5 bars. As I hit the hallway it went to 4 bars and when I got to the end of the hallway and into my bedroom it dropped to 3 bars.

I didn’t take the laptop outside yesterday, but will check that out sometime within the next couple of weeks. My husband was pretty pleased with the results of my “test” but then said “It’s my laptop and you can’t use it” LOL! And I tell you, our connection speeds have been so much better with this new wireless router! I’m VERY happy we made the decision to get it!
