I just signed up for Dropbox.com and it’s a great service. It’s a free (2gb’s of storage) and a paid (plans start at $99 for 50gb’s / month, ouch!) service. It that allows you to have an online back up of your files and sync them up between computers or with the iphone app they made. It’s a nice tool if you work across multiple computers such as myself. I get done my daily work with the design firm I’m with and I stay after to get a few of my own projects done. Dropbox will allow me to leave my working projects in a Dropbox and make sure that each computer I work on will have the most current version. It beats carrying around a thumb drive (which I forget half the time) or emailing files all over the place.
Now I’m writing this post as a cheesy way of trying to get my disk space higher on Dropbox. If you use this link to the dropbox site and sign up both parties (the person signing up and the referrer) get an extra 250mb of space up to 3gb. Pretty good for a free service that works well.

I have to say that I’m pretty happy about my new computer setup at my office. For those that don’t know, I spend my days working full time as a Graphic and Web Designer at Azunga as well running my own business DelusionalDesigns. This setup is at Azunga where we got two new Hanns-G 22″ Monitors from NewEgg.com running on a nice and zippy desktop with Dual-Core 2.5ghz, 3 gig of RAM, and a NVIDIA Gforce 7100 Video Card. The shipping for the monitors was quick (ordered on Friday afternoon and arrived on Wednesday morning), they are nice and bright, and there was absolutely no problems or issues with them. They didn’t include a DVI Cable but I’m not surprised in the least bit. This is by far nothing top of the line or extreme in the least bit but I do have a nice blue LED light in my case which makes it that much better. Oh yeah, I’m modded!

So I’ve got a problem I can’t find anyone else having anywhere online.
My wireless router consistently and now constantly is giving all the computers on my home network a “limited or no connectivity” status when connecting to my router. No internet, no networking, nothing…
I don’t think it’s any of the computers on the network because we have two iphones, four laptops, and one desktop connected to it. The desktop is wired and is fine all the time. The wireless computers and phones all get the same “limited or no connectivity” status all at the same time. I mean same time because I reset the router (soft reset) and everything is fine for a random amount of time and all sudden all the computers drop off, switching the connection status from “connected” to “limited or no connectivity”. Usually within an hour or two of the reset. All the computers and phones work on wireless networks other places just fine. I’ve changed settings on the router to default, I’ve hard reseted it, changed network names, changed passwords, and any thing I can think of to try anything.
The kicker is this is the second router to do this… Both times both routers are D-Links and both are/where very close to a Xeon HP Workstation PC which is a pretty ridiculous machine, as in bigger, clunky, and loud.
I also notice that my iphone is messed up and echoed when I’m using it next to the desktop. I wonder if I’m slowly getting radiated or something!
Has anyone ever heard of a router going bad because it’s too close to a box (CPU)? I wonder if anyone has had this same issue?
I can’t find any report of it anywhere online yet. I really don’t want to buy another router. I tried moving both routers to the basement away from the desktop and it’s still acting the same. Wonder if if the router (both) are now damaged and junk!
Hit me up if you have any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions!
