It is about time…at least I am sure Danielle feels that way. I am putting the D-Link DI-514 up on the blocks or available to anyone who wants it really. It is a wireless router that has served us over the past few years. It was a cheap purchase in order to get wireless internet access in the house when my Linksys WAP 11 decided it did not want to let me get into the config. I plugged the WAP 11 back in today, because the DI-514 was giving me grief for the past week, and it works perfectly. The WAP 11, while a little dated, is a great platform for two reasons: One, it is simply an Access Point so there is not a ton of technology and things to break inside of it. Two, it has awesome range and the ability to easily add some high gain antennas if I need to. I thought about adding an antenna to the DI-514, but the antenna port does not have a threaded connector. The antenna that comes with it constantly falls off because there are no threads on the router’s antenna port. I am not sure what the hell that is all about, but it is annoying as hell to say the least.

So, if anyone has a need for a wireless router, give me a holla y’all, and I will hook you up if I still have it.
