Right up above: "I've never updated my router(s). Maybe I'm missing something important." ...

I never said I did. You're the one that told Daniel that none of the updates he missed were important without knowing whether that is true.

No, actually we could use ethernet cables. They just wouldn't be as cool. The more I read here, though, the more I'm inclined to go ahead and string another cable or two. -- Kathy

(Stop trimming quotes to make it seem like I'm saying things I'm not, jerk.) You're the one who said "it's easy to update non-Apple routers with a single click". Your implication is all-inclusive. I, on the other hand, recalled a couple instances where Netgear routers I've owned didn't work like that. I didn't imply all of them in my statement. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.
