Finally Friday


has been a crazy work week. My gateway wi-fi died on Tuesday about :00 am No lights, nothing. Smarty pants, me, decide I'm going go one of my internet provider's stores and get a new gateway device.

The joke was on me!! The stores don't carry anything to do with the internet part of their company. I would have to order that on the phone or through online...uh, hello, I can't access my internet, that's the problem!!! Oh, then you'll have to and order a new wi-fi gateway.

Shit! So, two hours later I get home and get on the phone with said provider and get a new wi-fi gateway ordered. The soonest they can get me the router is within the next 2 days. Ok. See if you can get it here faster.

Got the wi-fi gateway ordered. it arrived about 24-hours later on the next day. I get it all out of the box and hook it up. It starts flashing green that is power but is a flashing red where says broadband. Shit, again!!!

I then start a chat with said provider and am walked through all the steps and still a red flashing light for broadband. The chat then turns a technician will have assist me and the soonest a tech can be scheduled is the next morning between 8:00 am and noon. Okay. Put me down.

I had take annual leave because this is an issue on my side of the work thing, which I've got plenty of time take off, just hate that I had use on a work connected issue!!

The tech arrived promptly at 8:00 am came in and switched around some cables and announced that I had the wrong cable in the ONT slot. I told him I had tried every combination and I would get a flashing green light for about -15 seconds and then would turn red flashing. Sure enough, 30 seconds into our conversation turned red and did not turn green again.

Two hours later, new inside wiring, new inside internet box and nothing but a constant solid green light for broadband!!! Now I'm actually getting the internet speed I am paying for and is amazing how fast my work laptop brings all of my systems up AND I have had no VPN disconnects since I got back online yesterday after lunch!!! is a miracle!!!

This is the<b> first time </font></b>since I started working from home that I've had a strong internet connection. I can actually do my job and do well!!! I had forgotten how great is when everything works with the work systems!!

Hopefully, this resolves all of the connection issues I've been having since I moved home back in March of 2019 work from home. isn't any projection as when, if ever, we'll go back the office and honestly, I'm fine with working from home though it has made me rather lazy with regards getting up and looking presentable every day. I throw on clothes and grab some coffee and start working at 7:00 am

Happy Friday!!! Have a great weekend and stay safe in the July heat!!!

Glad you are back in the "real" world. When the connection goes down it can be stressful even for the more "techy" among us.
