USB Network Adapter - Not Hard To Install And Can Adapt

Having been born well before the arrival of computers, I am at a disadvantage with regards to upkeep as well as maintenance for my PC. The first encounter of a serious nature with a computer was with a computer the size of a small house. It executed the same functions the calculator in your cell phone does - less, in fact.

So needless to say, I am one of those who had to understand late in life what to do with a computer. And to tell the truth, much of it wasn't too hard. It helped that I got a job working for a company that manufactured computers, and repaired them too. My workplace was close to the service department, and I frequently took advantage of having that group of twelve excellent men at my beck and call.

However, I work at home now, and when the time came to go wireless on my desktop Compaq, I was slightly confused. My ISP - then Embarq - sent me the required USB network adapter, along with the modem. I was happy to discover that all I had to do along the lines of installation was only plug the USB wireless network adapter directly into my USB slot.

Of course, I needed to ensure that the wireless antenna was not hindered in its performance by the refrigerator, the wireless phone, the beams in the ceiling; in other words, things I could do very little about. In that place, I eventually needed to switch to an internal antenna, which behaved better in some way. I was able to install the antenna myself, thus de-mystifying the computer fairly.

I've moved, and this time, have had to set up another home office desk, in a different challenging location. To my computer's dismay, I'm in a basement, surrounded completely by cinder blocks. Our new ISP, who shall remain nameless at this time, recommended I required a new modem, and my purchase was a Linksys modem.

Fortunately for me, the internal network adapter works well with the Linksys, and I have not had to purchase a corresponding Linksys USB network adapter, as I believed I might. Emboldened by all this "geek" work, and my new knowledge of computers, I have now learned how to confidently crack a case, and install a new hard disk. Turns out I'm not too old to learn a few new tricks.
