Wireless – is it me, or is it shit?

So as title, I find wireless to be a bit of hit/miss technology.   Maybe it’s just my kit, but it fails too often for my liking.

My wireless if strange, it seems to be up and working (cos the LED says so) right up to the point where I connect my Macbook.   It’s not just the MB, as my DS used to do it as well (before I decided to use WPA instead of WEP).   Currently it just takes the piss, claiming that it is working when it plainly isn’t.  I would hit it, but it’s the only router I have.  Plus I know how it’s configured.

Keen readers (me), will remember the problems I had with the Apple Airport distress unit.  The positive with the AP was the free update to 802.11n spec.  Still this was more unreliable, though a general concensus with Apple wireless is it’s o.k., not great.

Still at least wireless isn’t as shite as bluetooth.
