I didn&#8217;t share this with anyone because I know myself and had low expectations. But here is my first post of March explaining why I didn&#8217;t post on the 1st of March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problems started a while back. We randomly lost Internet one day. I went through rigamarole with Comcast online and eventually got the service restored. At the end of the call, I agreed that a tech did not need to come out because everything was working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, I might have to pay for that service call. Mind you, I can afford to do that. The idea just didn&#8217;t appeal to me if everything was fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward a few weeks and we start having random dropouts. The only solution is to turn off both the modem and router and turn them back on. High-level stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/regularguycolumn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/giphy.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/regularguycolumn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2530\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it starts happening more. Like, every 30-60 minutes sometimes. So I contact Comcast again, this time on Feb. 28. They immediately tell me I need a new modem &#8211; which is not untrue because I have increased the speed of our package, but that shouldn&#8217;t be causing the problem. I tell them we need someone to come look at the line into the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So they schedule that. Then they try to move up our appointment for a time I told them we were not available. So I get snippy in the Twitter DM thread and they schedule us for the afternoon of March 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing the guy does is say we need a new modem. Then he spends a while working on the outside lines, which had been damaged by squirrels. That gets repaired, and he tells us that everything is working fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it dies again. Reset. Dies again. So I do what any smart person should do &#8211; grudgingly admit they may have been right and head out to Target to get a new modem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setup is easy, peasy. We climb into bed. Maria turns on our Fire Stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it dies again. At this point, I&#8217;m gutted. It can&#8217;t be our router. It just can&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t know why I refuse to accept this, but I do. So I do a factory reset of the router. Then another when it won&#8217;t connect. Then a third. At some point in there, I order a new mesh router package on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My router finally connects. Then is not connected when I wake up in the middle of the night. I resign myself to us having to just use the hard-wired connection to the modem and the data on our phones until the new router shows up. Until \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Target has pretty much the same router for the same price. So I got it this morning. And it&#8217;s easy to set up. Now we have Internet again, hopefully for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that&#8217;s why I will write a blog post every day in March except one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made a private promise that I would blog every day in March.
