That wasn't the problem, I'm afraid.
So what the hell is it???
Excuse me for being annoyed, but I just moved a ton of heavy furniture around only to discover it didn't help one bit. (sigh)
Well, it's probably the modem. Which isn't all that easy to replace, as I recall. (We've had to replace it once before.) And it's not just a case of buying a new one, pluging it in and being good to go, either.
Crap.
Well, as long as I'm willing to keep recycling, we're good to go for now. Sort of. (ugh)
I have another couple of thoughts I'd like to try before I give up and assume it's the modem. I'm thinking it might be the cord that connects the modem to the router. (But I doubt it.)
Or it might be the power source to the router. (Which makes no sense, as it's brand new...)
Anyway, never say die! (grin)
