3AM now just got off work - been working on the project for the past maybe eight hours.

A better thing that I’ve accomplished today was to return the wireless router that I bought last week (D-Link DIR-655). I decided to give this D-Link wireless N PCI adapter a try and I bought it today. The PCI card was super easy to install, and the slim profile was perfect since my graphic card spanned across two slots so if the adapter was a little thicker it probably wouldn’t fit. Once I got it set up, I looked at the connection speed and it was a whopping 300Mbps! I was getting a merely 100Mbps with my old D-Link USB wireless adapter DWA-150, even though it was D-Link’s current top-of-the-line model. Pretty puzzled as to why the difference is so huge, probably because of the three antennas on my new PCI adapter having a much stronger signal. Anyway, as for the problem with wireless connection being dropped, so far it has happened I think twice. I’ll see if it drops a lot at work tomorrow, hopefully it’ll work magic.

Time to head.
