Is half the internet down?

[boracayjohnny]

Lesseeee here...280 million people confined to home. There's only so much time for fapping and/or McGangbanging the hooker. The video game has been played 10^eleventybillion times. The dog is now pooping on the kitchen floor...again. Watching Cletus and Martha, who smiles through her three teeth, while annoying tigers has peaked. So, search for knitting instructions on the internet it is.

Cliffs; try again

I've had worse routers in the past, this one is really pretty good and gives great wireless signal. The cable router also has wifi capability but I don't use it, I like having my own router (although I bought the cable router too, you don't want to pay them monthly for one that's for sure.)

Awhile back, like two years ago, I was having to reboot it like twice/three times a day. It was really getting me pissed off so I started troubleshooting and traced the culprit down to an old Slingbox I had still connected to an ethernet hub in my entertainment center. Unplugged that and wah-la.

We have a craptastic ISP in town and I tell people to plug their router into a timer and have it reset overnight.

My FF has been slow today. Edge is fine. Must be an update coming.

I used my very extensive computer skillz to diagnose and solve the problem. I'll try and give a brief summary of the repair procedures....


~turn off computer

~turn it back on

~something happened

~success!

That's what I did.
