Out with the old, in with the new....router

Tonight, we had an impromptu technical evening.  After returning from my awesome trip to Denver (more about that in the next post!!!!), I spent the day working from home - as did Brian.  Well, we've been having some internet connectivity challenges since we got back from Florida and today we decided enough was enough!  We identified the issue was with our router (after three oh-so-pleasant troubleshooting sessions with Comcast) so then we had to decide whether or not to deal with trying to get warranty coverage on our less than 1 year old Cisco Linksys router (and figure out what to do in the meantime for internet if we decided to send it in).  On our way to Kinkos to print out loan docs for our (hopefully!) new house, we came upon Best Buy and I said "let's just go in and look at routers and printers/scanners".  We're sick of hoofing it to Kinko's or scrambling at work to sign, scan and/or fax documents.  So, after a coupon and a gift card, we walked away from Best Buy with a new Netgear router and an Epson combo printer/scanner/fax for $140.  Maybe this means old photos to be scanned to the blog (and quickly with the new router!)?  We shall see...
