so today we installed a wireless router for the new laptop we got. For some reason, it makes seemingly random beeping noises, and I have no idea why.

Anyone out there know of reasons as to what is causing this beeping, or more importantly how to quiet it?

never heard of a router beeping at all. what manufacturer and model is it?

Hmmm - I'd say you have three choices:

1) Call your IT department and have them check it out.

2) If you don't have an IT department, contact the manufacturer and ask them.

3) RUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!It's gonna blow!!!!!

Hope that helps,
AVP

my wireless router does not beep, but my wireless keyboard will beep if I push the keys to fast. It makes playing soem games almost impossible..:(

3) RUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!It's gonna blow!!!!!

You beat me to it, AVP.... :)

My thoughts exactly :geek:

Don't worry about it. It just means your coffee is ready.

LMAO :D

I figured it out all by myself.

My mom is currently in possession of my cousin's lost cell phone, which BEEPS incessantly, and very loud when it is low battery.

I responded to a recent False Alarm myself when a neighbor relocated his desktop computer from one room to another. He came over in a panic and assumed he had somehow busted it in the move, because it no longer powered-up. He asked that I go over and take a look at it.

I walked in the room and tried to start it. Nothing.

I walked over to a light switch on the wall and flipped it up.

Computer fired right up.

He had plugged the thing into one of those "switched" outlets that are controlled by a light switch on the wall.

When I was doing deskside support - I got calls like this all the time. "Gus - my PC wont turn on. " "Ok, Ill be right there." I walk over and hit the button to the power strip to turn everything on. "Gee, thanks Gus." He/She would say.

on the tangent of best support calls, here's my favorite involving a very nice, but very older lady who kept insisting she was unable to log off her computer. that's because everytime she logged off, it gave her a message to press control-alt-delete to logon, so she did what it said.

This one's (http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20030128&mode=classic) really funny. I have a copy of the strip taped to the outside of my cubicle wall:

Computer: Press any key.

Customer: "Any." Okay.

'A'

Computer: Would you like to save your work?

'N'

Computer: Are you sure?

'Y'

And back at Columbia Internet Tech Support...

*ring!*

Greg: Why is my skin crawling?

Reported by a colleague who ran the IT shop for the local RC Diocese at the time:

A tech support person was on the phone trying to help a very nice nun at another site.

Tech support person: OK, now before we do anything else, you'll need to close all of your open windows.

Nun: Oh, no, dearie. We have air conditioning here.

D'oh!
