Finally we have our wireless network working. This was a long process. We arrived in Tokyo on August 17 and had an ADSL modem. We could get internet, but only through a wired connection and only one at a time because we did not have the ISP connection numbers to set up our router. Also, the connection was in the previous resident director’s name and he didn’t cancel it as a favor to us. The program agreed to pay the monthly fee and change the billing to the program, but the busy program associate forgot to do it. In the meantime we ordered a wireless router from the States which Lorrin and Tina kindly shipped to us. When we received it we went to the program associate for the numbers we needed only to find out she had forgotten about switching it over. She then did it right away, but the numbers didn’t finally arrive in Karen’s hands until Friday. This weekend through a lot of trial and error and finally finding English instructions I got the wireless working. It isn’t quite perfect yet because it is not encrypted, but that should not take much longer. So, this blog entry was done wireless.
Yay! Glad it’s working! Are you enjoying little Sophia and Lisa and Ben?
