Back to the problem of having a Wi-Fi enabled tablet and no Wi-Fi in my living room. What's the point of being a retired couch potato when you have to move to get something? Last week I order a wireless repeater which arrived today so, not only do I have to combat the magicks of Android, I have to master the intricacies of IP protocols and home networks. Amazon's WS320 Repeater is a simple plug with a single push button light on it. How difficult can it be to get my PC, router repeater and tablet to talk to one another? Fairly difficult, as it turned out. Might as well throw away the manual for all the sense it made. Luckily, Amazon have a very chatty forum section to each of their purchases and one guy in particular made perfect sense. So, for a paltry £24, there is a plug in my kitchen boosting the signal from my office to the couch potato in the living room. Success.
I also bought some ear phones while I was at it so, eventually, I was lying on the couch reading a Watchmen comic while listening to my own constructed rock music playlist, occasionally being interrupted by incoming e-mails. Ah! I think I'm getting there.
Now, I wonder what I can make it do next?

I think your taxing your grey matter far too much for a man of your tender years. Put the tablet down and go and sit in a dark room with a big screen and invade an alien galaxy far far away,put some normality back into your life,and drink more cider, it will all make sense in time, just ask Lobsang
