Thanks for sharing. If my router messes up I’ll be sure to call you! Oh and mind if I give my parents your number? They’ve been looking for someone nice to help them with their printer…

My answer: I work with one brand (and preferably model) of router for a time, for me and my family/friends.

You want my help/support, you use what I’m familiar with.

I continually work forward at home so I’m prepared when it’s time for people to replace devices.

You mean you turned it off and on again?

I’ll post my story about fixing a router here since I’ve been struggling with it for the past two weeks. After much troubleshooting with my ISP, testing with a whole other computer that somehow managed to get a gigabit link I was confused at why my router was not getting a gigabit link from the wan. What ended up being the problem was a poor termination on one of the ethernet ports in the wall. If I had been able to think about it without stressing about the limited time to work on it, I would’ve realized that yeah that made sense because when I went straight from the ISP box into another computer I was able to get the giga bit link. Either way I re-terminated a good bit of my cabling and now I get a great link on my router. Here’s to 500 Mb per second in a 200 person town.

Dull Men's Club

Create post

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men’s Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
