Except the signal keeps dropping. And the desktop which is hardwired to the router is having connection problems too. To the Internet, not the home network.
After awhile I call Comcast, (from my cellphone since the home phone line is now VOIP, which doesn't work when the internet is down). First person I talk to is worthless. I have tried everything she suggests before I called and she says they'll check into it and call me back, but she hangs up before I can give her an alternative phone number.
I try everything again and get on line for 30 minutes so I called Comcast back to let them know everything has been working for the last 1/2 hour and this person at least knows what she is talking about.
Before going to bed, I search the net for Comcast connection problems and find lots of complaints, including a discussion on a forum about spotty service near Chicago this week.
I figure that's not too far from here, perhaps it's related, and we'll keep an eye on it over the rest of the weekend.
Saturday and Sunday I connect to the internet at coffee shops and my office and all is fine until Sunday night when I try at home again. I call Comcast again and this guy that answers is about 50% competent. I finally decided to reset EVERYTHING, and as I type this right now, my connection is better than it's been in awhile.
Now about the new Blogger Feature. This post that you are reading will magically appear at 3:33am when I am fast asleep. Blogger.com now has a feature where you can write now and post later. It's actually about 9:30pm, 6 hours before this will appear.
On my other Blog, Collective Wisdom, I'm doing a series of sales tips from Harvey Mackay, and earlier today, I wrote nearly 20 of them for the rest of the series.
The scary thing is someone could write something, select a date in the future for the post to appear, and be dead when it shows up. Sweet dreams..........
By the way, I ended up replacing the router. Looks like all is gonna be ok.
