Router did not need a new power adapter. *sighs*
After much pain on my part as a Luddite, and careful, considerate, walked me through the steps, told me where to find things, waited patiently for me to find them and, didn't snicker, assistance from my provider... I have a new router connected.
*HUGS my internet again*
I find it interesting that if they also provided service to my cell phone or if I had an IPAD or other internet device that is their's I could have done this without talking to a human. I needed a human. Telling me that I could get assistance while I waited by going to their website is absolutely no help if the reason I am calling is that I don't have internet.
And it seems that sometime in the future they will not offer simple internet service. It will have to be with their package that includes TV service.
Diversity works well in nature. It's a failsafe mode in case one system fails. If the internet crashed, I'd still have cable. *sighs*
They have watches now that have internet. Walking into the store to check the old and then buy the new router... technology culture shock. Am surprised that they didn't install ports in people's skulls in the backroom like a dental visit. Then again I didn't ask about that service and stood well away from all the shiny things.
They did have some very nice leather gloves that are touch screen usable.. 1/2 price.
Which made them $44.00! *whimpers*
I am not ready for the 21st century.

That place was frenetic and there were too many shiny, sparkly electronic things.
Your icon... is perfect for how I felt.
