I feel like such a dork. After shlepping my router to the store today and harassing them until they tested it (it's fine!) I came home and thought I'd jiggle the Airport Extreme card I installed in my computer to see if that might help my meager wifi signal. I open the machine, give the card a push, and click - it slips right into place.
This what happens when Apple expect luddites like myself to install their own computer parts. We waste hours of our friends' time (thanks Jeremy!) trying to fix a problem with settings and online searches, when all I needed to do was push the card in another 3 millimeters.
This is the last of these geeky technology woe posts. Jeremy suggested I hire myself out as a Linksys specialist. If any of you need one of these installed, my rate is $500/hour plus expenses. And I make no guarantees.

same with those fiddly little connectors on airport cards... but don't you love the way Apple engineer the 'click' sound when it finally slots home just right.
don't forget ... sucure your MAC address, play around with security options and set Bug to sniffing for wardrivers....
