Dropbox has proved very handy to me, Flickr if I don't mind random people favouriting my father in the seventies.
Which I don't! I've even had Ellis Island records with family members favourited by people I don't know.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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

Ack! I need to replace one of the Asus RT N13U routers at home--well, one of them. I'd rather just get the same one and redo the setup, but I have no *time* to shop.
I'm gonna hit up Best Buy, but if it's not there, what's the simplest replacement? I had dd-wrted it, which could make it easier or harder. But it's a pretty simple setup (uses. I just did that for familiarity.
It functions as a repeater sitting between the modem/router and a further out router/repeater.

Hey. New board.
Honestly, I would think "whatever is cheapest" would probably work just fine for that need. Surely "set to repeater mode" is a pretty basic task for any router interface.

There's a reason I couldn't do it with the N13U out of the box, but I don't remember it.
I'll take your advice.

Hey. New board.
Interesting. My n13u definitely had a built in repeater mode.

Maybe it was familiarity and security through obscurity--I dunno. It was a while back, back when I got technologically "inspired".

I just realised that thanks to a Buffista I have an extra router at home--a Netgear Nighthawk. Way overpowered for the application, but what a lifesaver!
I'll either use it here and give them my Linksys E3200, or just take it there. Not decided yet...level of effort must be examined...

Thrive to spite them
The Nighthawk is a great router.
I was going to say if you go into Best Buy the routers and modems aren't in computers any more (at least they shouldn't be) they will be in the "connections" deparment (mobile phones, tablets, security cameras, wi fi connected light switches, light bulbs, and the like). The idea is that the internet and espeically wireless internet is so centralized they put it in kind of one area.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Ok, this is near my "Oh hell, take a chance" price.
OTOH? a month to ship from China.
Of course, it pings my, "if it sounds too good to be true" meter.

Hey. New board.
It might simply be REALLY slow. Which is nto necessarily a big deal if you plan to load it up once with music or movies, but can cause problems if you like taking pictures onto it or something.
