Powerline – when wireless isn’t good enough
Dear Geek,
As a Virtual Personal Assistant, I need a reliable internet connection, so my broadband router is in my office next to my PC. Everywhere else in the house has a weak wireless signal – is there any way to make it better? I want to be an Office Hound, not officebound.

Dongles!
Dear Geek,
My colleague has offered to show me his dongle. Should I feign interest or slap him?

February 2010 – Don’t get your wireless crossed
Dear Geek,
I’ve been sent a new wireless router. It’s confusing to set up and I’m scared of the security issues. Do I have to use it?

Embarrassing Confession Time
When we first moved into our house we bought a new oven. It was a combined electric oven with gas hob. The electric bit was easy. So was hooking up the gas – B&Q had the right kind of hose out there on the shelf. Picked it up, plugged it in, all fine.
