Wheee cheap-o

Instead of going for that real pricey D-Link setup, I instead bought a Digitus WLAN router and PCIe card today, for a mere ... 105€ I think.
...
Anyway, setting up the router was quick and easy. Though for some strange reason, it worked fine after plugging in, but stopped working after configuring it. Nothing to worry though, resetted it, fixed the config, and it worked like a breeze.
Setting up my phone to use the WLAN was about as easy as it gets too. Select WLAN, enter passphrase, done.
The PCIe card was a bit more difficult though. I guess I could've gone with a USB dongle instead, but I only have two USB ports free, and those aren't on the back of the PC but on its side. And those two really are for quickly connecting / disconnecting stuff like phone, music player, camera, stick, etc. Nothing permanent should go there, just doesn't look good.
Anyway, I've got two free slots in my PC that look PCIe'ish. The short one fits the network card quite nicely, but for some reason I couldn't get it to work in that. Got power, and its LEDs even showed an active link, but the comp didn't notice the card's presence at all.
In the end I changed to the longer slot, which looks more like an extra graphics card should go there, and this one works. Windows found new hardware, drivers installed almost instantly, and no networks could be found.
...
Fixed that by installing the drivers that came with the card instead of Windows' default ones.
And now it works quite nicely.

Satisfied with the results. Of course it'll be a few days before I actually really need the WLAN router ...
