I'd rather you get another router for your home instead... Perhaps go with 802.11n, since the range of that is better.

As for the Airport Express (not Extreme) and going to hotels, it depends on the hotels. Some give complimentary internet access, others have it as a paid option. However, nearly all require an ethernet port, so the AE can help you a bit - at least you won't be tied down to the wall socket.

oh.. icicic.

I always thought it will "repeat" the hotel's wireless signals making it stronger to receive..

So its quite redundant for me to use afterall.. since most hotels do not offer complimentary wifi access..

Hold Ctrl and scroll down.

Scroll up to zoom in.

PS: Just use hxxp instead of adding spaces all over. It's much easier for people to replace 2 letters than to remove spaces.

Precision screwdrivers normally come with #0 and not #00. You'll need to specifically look out for #00, which is a grade smaller.

You can try and force the #0; it will work but with some difficulty.

For those on SN, please set the proxy. The Singnet transparent proxy has been horrible the whole of 2009 - I don't know what the sysadmins are doing.

All you really need to do is to set up a new Location, call it "Home", and you can easily switch between locations to turn on/off the proxy.

A quick visual guide:
1) System Preferences -> Network

2) Duplicate the Location, , Name it something useful (eg, "Home")
[
3) Configure it.

Apply, Ok as needed.


4) To switch locations conveniently:

Thanks in advance...

Sorry, to make myself clearer, after applying the settings, i'm still able to surf the net but then cldn't log in to messenger. Prompts either 'service down or not connected to e internet'...
However, after removing the settings, i'm able to log in tho...
