Our phone and internet
Today we got internet in our apartment... Yea! The internet man came and installed it. For 15 RMB he said he would hook up our wireless router, and considering that is less than 2 bucks we figured, why not? Anways, not realizing that our wireless router is 110V not 220V like it needs to be in China he plugged it in and caused it to short circuit. Damn, one battery down. Well, thanks goodness our router for our phone was Linksys too, Janai grabbed that battery so we could hook up the wirless router. This time we plugged in an adapter thinking that that would cause it to not short circuit and to our amazement the wireless router turned on. Unfortunately it turned on for about 5 seconds before it too short circuited, kind of started smoking, and now no longer works. So, what this means is that we have a router for our wireless, a router for our phone, working internet, but not batteries to plug them in. We can plug our computers into the cable, so we can use it one at a time, but our phone doesn't work and we can't all be on at the same time :( Hopefully we can find the batteries and buy them and get everything working. Oh well, we are at least one step closer to having it all situated.
