The mystery of my spotty internet connection that is. I took my laptop to the boy to look at and he did. He found no problems with the connection and while I was upstairs neither did I, until I came back downstairs to the room where I usually keep it and do my blogging.
It’s the room where my TV is, I like to watch TV and blog, I don’t know why, it’s like I a minor distraction in order to string my words into coherent thoughts.
The basement where my apartment is looks like this: when you come down the stairs the bathroom is to the left from the stairs, the next door over to the right from the bathroom is to my friend’s husband/son’s workroom, it has computers and tools in it, next to that is my TV/sewing room, my TV, sewing machine, laptop, printer and other miscellanea are in there. The last room, next to the back door is my bedroom. There is gray cabinet and the washing machine.
Here is the weird thing that is happening, when I go in the room where I normally go online, where I’ve been going online for a long time and never had a problem until the recent hacker business. Now I am having problems going online there. So I went in my bedroom. I was thinking since there is a window in my bedroom that would help. It didn’t.
So I went in the other room in the basement, the only room that’s not “mine”, and there it works. I went upstairs to tell the boy and he agreed with me that it is weird.
For now and into the foreseeable future, I will be typing my blogs in Word and pasting to WordPress. Such a pain in the butt.
That is all, says she.
Internet problems are extremely frustrating. About two months ago I was having trouble with my router. I knew it was broken and needed to be replaced, but it took the internet company 2 weeks to decide that, yes, that was the problem and replace the router. They were here a total of 7 times in 2 weeks before fixing the problem. The internet company messed about with it for 2 weeks before they would do what I asked, get me a new router. Part of the problem was they had run out of routers because they got a bad batch (they bought cheap). So I was ready to scream every day for 2 weeks. I feel your pain.
We had that problem (bad router) before this problem. I was ready to throw something against the wall. My friend’s is going to try to extend the range so I can get online.
