It's a dream come true for me. I've been wishing for it for years, and now it's a reality - wireless internet throughout our house. Up until last year, I ran my entire internet business off dial up! Can you imagine? We're so far out in the country, they said they'd have to launch another satellite into space to get us satellite internet. Cable and DSL have never been options and still aren't.
Then my brother-in-law stumbled onto Sprint's broadband service but it only gave us high speed on one computer at a time. With Laurel and Greg going to work in my business, we needed high speed for more than just mine. So my friend Zac (an amazing whiz kid) figured it out. There's not much Zac can't figure out.
He got us a KYOCERA KR1 Mobile Router that sits in our living room connected to the Sprint Broadband device. The 2 laptops can easily pick up the wireless like they would at anyplace that has WIFI. Then he got two EnGenius Wireless LAN Long Range USB Adapters for the 2 desktops. They just connect through a USB port. It took him about 1.5 to 2 hours to configure and test everything... of course that was with Elijah following Zac around, distracting him with a gazillion questions and making obnoxious noises pumping his hand under his arm. Poor guy. He handled it with the patience of Job and the genius of Einstein.
Needless to say I'm thrilled that everyone can use the internet and stop fighting over my high speed device!
