router

[raymond house]

Hi Darcy, very timely! I just got one this morn, a Netgear N300 and it is
strictly for MS, so back it goes because I can't do a thing with it. My
router is Dlink 601 and they sell a very tiny wireless USB plug, I can get
it from Dell in TO wonder if it's one that will work ?  Thanks
