Already deep into his phone, he didn’t look back as the limo service car pulled away.
Ok… That’s a little over-the-top dramatic. He was just heading out to his company’s hub in Paris and he was only going to be gone a week. I really don’t mind. I use the time on other projects that I’ve got going. This time I was doing a little autumn gardening and of course I was going to steem.
Wednesday I stayed home and I worked on steeming all morning. I was trying diligently to find out where that upvote went that @hellowhale was supposed to have made to @mortongregoryss post the night before when suddenly insideous evil took over my screen!
Hmmm… this has happened once before when the router slowly went bad.
Proof of signal strength!
I grabbed my phone and checked the wifi signal strength. I had all 5 bars lit up. That seems good!?
Well… I have a lot of tabs up on steemit. Maybe it’s tired from the effort?
I rebooted my computer. It’s supposed to automatically connect on boot-up but no dice! I decided to check my other devices. No joy on either my phone or ipad browsers and even Alexa's acting stupid!
Hmph I can’t even call up the address up of the computer that is hard-wired to the router. That one works fine!
I turned the router off then on again…
I haven’t figured this out yet but I have noticed that this kind of problem only happens when Doug is a far away.
I can’t wait for him to get home. Having the WiFi go down is extremely inconvenient but not quite as inconvenient as the water heater that went out 2 days before he left. When he gets home he is going to help me replace it (or I’ll help him).
Update:
He just arrived home. Who would have guessed that we have 3 routers all chained together and all 3 had to have their power cycled?
One of them predates the Italian renaissance.
And @mortongregoryss never did get his upvote.
