Mike says:
goddamnit acer
Mitch says:
i smell an i told you so
what happened?
Mike says:
i think the wireless card may be bad
could be driver or my router
i will know for sure tomorrow
but im betting bad wireless card
Mitch says:
should i go ahread and say it now or wait for tomorrow?
Mike says:
you can wait
the real test will be what happens when i call acer support about it
Mitch says:
nothing?
Mike says:
i would really rather not have to return the whole laptop because of this
Mitch says:
“oh well im sorry, please hold and ill transfer you to hardware support” *insert dialtone sound*
Mike says:
yeah…
and having a netbook that cant access the net…
not so useful
Mitch says:
its a book
Mike says:
like it was sitting in a chair streaming video and pinging google no problem for about 20 mins
the second i unplugged it from the wall and moved it it started dropping packets
then eventually it just dropped the connection completely
i mean its an intel wireless card
it shouldnt be failing so hard
Mitch says:
man its really getting hard to hold this back
it wants to fly out and hit you in the face
simultaneously generating a palm to my own face
Mike says:
well in my defense, almost every netbook would also be using an intel wireless card…
Mitch says:
“they’re all made by the same place”
except some work and others, well
not so much
….
Mike says:
of course compounding the problem would be the fact that im using the acer laptop to connect to my trendnet router…
lol
the same router that has lately been giving susan and i random page cannot be displayed issues
so im gonna bring the netbook to work tomorrow and see if it works there
Mitch says:
i’m lol’ing hard btw
