1) How common were cars with automatic gearboxes in the US in 1953? And in 1961?

2) I think we need a new wireless router. Any points I need to consider? Any recommendations? Any anti-recommendations?

Our netgear non-wireless router was great so I'd recommend their wireless ones. Avoid TP-link, we had one and it had to be rebooted almost daily.

Thanks for that.

My impression for question 1 would be something along the lines of most new cars in 1953 being automatic, but plenty of manuals (often column shift rather than stick shift) still on the road. Most Americans driving automatics by 1961.

But that's only an impression from absorbing popular culture.

Nowadays, I understand that manual gearboxes are pretty much limited to sports cars and trucks in the US.

Not Edimax.We have one as a wireless extender and it requires me running naked around the building, widdershins, to get it to work. However, when it's going, it does seem to be reliable.

The main gateway is a Cisco Linksys and that has also proven reliable. Setting it up as a single access point using WPA or WPA2 was very easy.
