How to Install Netgear Wireless Routers

[ellyssian]

Click on the picture to see how to properly setup Netgear Wireless Routers for a half hour or so of service and stress relief. =)

Warning: If you don't like to see evil, perpetually-rebooting devices given their comeuppance, don't click. If you cry at the wonton destruction of equipment that stops working shortly after the warranty expires (which means it lasted at least 4 times longer than most of the same make & model units owned by Amazon.com reviewers... =), you will be miserable.

Also warning: I'm posting this when only half the batch of photos are there; the other half are still uploading.

ROTFL!!!!!!

That looked like fun :-)

Yes it was! =)

Considering I kill every piece of technology I touch, I can't even tell you how many times I've wanted to do something like this to my computer/router/printer/camera/ect. It's also probably appropriate that my initials are EMP.

I have a Linksys router that almost got the same treatment tonight when it quit working for the second night in a row. And I don't know if you've seen that "Office Space" movie, but my favorite part is when they kidnap their constantly malfunctioning printer-copier and take it out to a field, where they completely destroy it.

The evil that a router may do pales in comparison to the everyday behavior of printers.

Stills from that Office Space scene should be framed and matted above every printer, just to remind them of their eventual fate. =)

Ugh I know right. My printer regularly refuses to work, and it has only gotten worse since I swapped from my original XP computer to this one with Vista.

:D Good idea. I'd still love to actually get to do something like that some day.

Needs a pinch of buckshot.

I was fresh out. =)

From an artistic standpoint, I would have gone for a more traditional baseball bat, catching the destroyer mid-swing just as the hard edge of the bat begins to decimate the flimsy plastic of the rotten device. Bonus points for motion blur only if the router is tack sharp.

We only have the plastic whiffle ball bats on hand, I think.

As for alternatives, I do have a pipe wrench and an adjustable wrench that would have worked.

No, seriously.

Each one is as large as a baseball bat, and quite a bit heavier.

I suppose that using a wrench as a hammer doesn't display the best tool etiquette...
