mimi_sardiniaFirst big lesson on new wi-fi modem: If Cybertron is asleep, it is no guarantee that the modem will stay charged.
This modem is a bit like a mobile phone. It is powered by a mobile phone battery and has a charger cord that doubles as a USB cord. The charger that plugs into a wall socket has a USB port in it that the cord goes into.
It seems that leaving the compy asleep does not help keep the modem battery charged. Mum apparently couldn't use the 'net because it had run down and I had to pull the battery out and put it back in to wake it up so it would work and start charging up. It's an hour since I got it working again and it's still only at 32% charged.
What I'd really like is a wi-fi plug-in for Cybertron so I can put the modem somewhere where it can just sit, and Cybertron can be one of it's wi-fi buddies instead of having to plug in.
Also, modem still needs a name. I am tempted to give it a SPN name. Maybe Impala? Or Castiel? Impala fits better, it's sleek and black.
I also think SG rav is now retired. I may consider seeing if it's rightful box is still somewhere and seeing if Telstra wants it back. It has served well anyway.
...I think I will be going with "Impala" for it's name.
