Here are the steps that you need to do to switch the account.

2. Click “Data Management”
3. Click “Save Data”
4. Click “Wii”
5. Find “Netflix Channel” (red square with letter N), click on it, select “Erase” and then confirm “Yes”
6. Try to find more “Netflix Channel” icons in that area, scroll to next screen if required (there could be more than one saved block)

The key is to use a macro. To do so, hit Alt+F11, then create a new macro and add the code below. Once added, select the worksheet you’d like to process, change the “17” below (1 if to process all rows), then run it.

That’s it.

Sub Insert_Blank_Rows()

    Dim Last As Integer, oRow As Integer
    ‘Count and select rows to process
    Last = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row

    ’17 is the last row to process (at the top)
    For oRow = Last To 17 Step -1
     If Not Cells(oRow, 1).Value = "" Then
        ‘Copy the line below to as many row insert you need
        ‘in this case, it was 3 row inserts
        Cells(oRow, 1).EntireRow.Insert
        Cells(oRow, 1).EntireRow.Insert
        Cells(oRow, 1).EntireRow.Insert
       End If
    Next oRow

End Sub

Remotely reboot Linksys WRT54G

I had the need the reboot my Linksys WRT54G router remotely. Unfortunately, the web interface is not like DD-WRT where a reboot button is available; however, there IS a hidden page.

1. Login into the web admin page, which is by default: http://192.168.1.1.
2. Add reset.htm, as in http://192.168.1.1/reset.htm.
3. Click “Yes” to reboot.
4. Voila!

Another method is to back up your config, the restore it — but do this with caution!
