[Kitsunexus]

BWHAHAHAHA, Linxsys Live Supportis SO FUN TO PRANK! The trick is, don't be offensive, don't be stupid, just do something crazy enough to work!

Here is a transcript between myself (David, aka David Berkowitz, sonofspam@aol.com) and an operator, Roderick P.:

Roderick P. (27073): Hi, my name is Roderick P. (27073). How may I help you?
David: Hi Roderick! My WRT51AB wireless router is not working with my Amiga 500.  I am running the latest version of AmigaOS but it still will not detect the router, and when I try to run the driver CD I get the GURU error and my Amiga reboots. Can you please help me?
Roderick P. (27073): Hello, David.
Roderick P. (27073): Let me check your network settings for this concern.
Roderick P. (27073): Your AMIGA 500 is your modem, right?
David: I am on my XP box, not my Amiga
David: no my Amiga is my computer
David: Commodore Amiga 500
Roderick P. (27073): I see.
David: with CD drive
David: this is my computer
David: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_500
Roderick P. (27073): DO you have other computers working with the router?
David: no, just the amiga
Roderick P. (27073): It is running with both XP and Amiga OS, right?
David: No, I am on my XP talking to you, it is an HP computer
David: my amiga is in the other room
David: it will not except the router
David: *accept
Roderick P. (27073): I see.
Roderick P. (27073): Is that Amiga 500, a wireless computer?
David: No, the keyboard is built in
David: but it uses cables to connect to the tv
Roderick P. (27073): Okay.
David: i bought it in the hopes of connecting to the bbs trannysurprise:900 but if it wont work then i may have to tak it back
David: also it doesnt have a serial port on it
David: is it defectiv?
Roderick P. (27073): I see.
Roderick P. (27073): Is there any Ethernet ports at the back of the Amiga 500 that we can connect to the router?
David: No, just serial and parralell
David: i tried implementing Deskjet parts into the router in order to make it firt in the parrellel port, but it's not working.
David: I also tried connecting it to the PC Engine, with the same result.
Roderick P. (27073): We cannot connect it to the router if that is the case, David.
David: Really?
David: that's not good
David: do you think best buy will take it back since it has been only slightly modified
David: to include a printer and an N64 emulator
Roderick P. (27073): I do not know with their policies, David.
David: oh ok
David: that's cool
David: well thanks for your help
David: i'll take it back tomorrow
David: you have a wonderful evening
Roderick P. (27073): You too, david.
Roderick P. (27073): Take care there.

Christian Y. (10694): As long as it is a linksys device.
Mike: Awesome
Christian Y. (10694): What is the problem you are experiencing with your Linksys product?

This is not all surprising to me at all, their tech support sucks, and as a company they deserve every little bit of crap that anyone throws at them. I have had horrible problems with their wired routers before all the wireless stuff has come along, and they refused to help me. Same with Belkin and another company. They all outsource now.

I now have my computers networked via multiple network cards off of the main system (essentially using the main internet connected computer as a LAN box). I also have kept 1 router over the years that ironically works perfect, and has never given me any problems, out of all the brands I have ever used. The ironic part is that it is a Microsoft router. Figure out that one.

Hilarious - just like cancer.

I have a Linksys wired router I've been using for years. Works perfectly. I don't really care for wireless, I only turn it on if I need to let my Wii access the Internet.
