So waaay back during the Christmas meeting I won the D-Link 4300 router. Sadly I was not able to use it as my dad already had the home network set up nice a cozy and was not about to go changing major components.
Fast forward to last Tuesday. I'm enjoying a nice game when all internet takes a nose dive. On Saturday our cable provider decides it is the modem having gone belly up. (A conclusion we had made days earlier) So today they decided they would grace us with their presence once again, with a modem this time (For those keeping count that is 6 days with no net). Hooked it up and internet was doing mighty good...on one computer. Turns out during the days of no internet the SysLink router decided it wanted to go belly up as well.
So I come home from school today and see my dad with Ethernet cables all over the house and an old 5 port switch we had, also dead as can be, and with a not so happy look upon his face. So I jumped into action retrieving the D-Link from my closet and hooking it up. Of course it all went great, grabbed the I.P. addresses for all the computers off of the D-Link setup page (and made sure GameFuel was on..he he) and we are back on the network.
So in short. Big thanks to eGO for giving out great gear and D-Link for letting us have them. And for ending a week without internet, now I have a lot of catching up to do.

You've saved my friend!
