All you need to do is hold down the Play and Menu buttons. The other steps are useless.
Including plugging it in? Kewl.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Consuela,
I have Linksys. I generally like it and had it since May. Last week, it has been cutting out here and there, but I think that might be Comcast and not the router.

I've had a series of Linksys routers, and they've all been reliable.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It worked without even the toggling.
Whatever it was doing in the 2 hours frozen really sucked the battery low, though.
Thanks!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Consuela, if you are hooking a Tivo via this means, Linksys is recommended.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have this Linksys router, and it's been reliable for the past 2+ years. (They've got similar Wireless-G models now that are faster, but I'm too lazy to upgrade.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I have the same router as Jessica and it's been reliable with my computers and the TiVo. Well, until the big lightning storm a couple of weeks ago when my entire network got fried....
But I bought another of the same router because of it's reliability.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've had luck with both Linksys and DLink.

I've got a Dlink and ithas worked well for me.
In FRIED COMPUTER news, I remembered last night that I already had a spare hard drive on this computer. I've now installed XP on the drive, after disconnecting the infected drive from the IDE chain.
I've already downloaded and run the sasser fix from Symantec, and found this drive to be uninfected. Some time this weekend, I will reconnect the infected drive and try to recover it.
