Goodbye, Netgear Router
🕑 Added 2021-07-01 07:00:00 +0000 UTC Hello, folks. Got off work early today but spent a good chunk of my free time troubleshooting and calling my ISP. My internet got fucked during the recent heatwave and I needed to take action as soon as I could. It was to the point where I had internet but my computer would constantly fail to recognize it. Every page I'd visit would be dead, or take forever to finally allow access. Called it in and we pinpointed the problem - old-as-fuck hardware. I've had this router since I was in high school (mid-to-late '00s). The modem was from 2013, too, so both needed upgrades. Turned it in and got me something better that combines both functions. I've gone through several computers, phones, modems, printers, ISP warnings, hackings, WIFI users requesting the long-ass password, troubleshoots, and countless amounts of porn while having it. It outlasted all my other hardware. Like an athlete that refused to retire after multiple generations of athletes had come and gone. Time will always win in the end, and it was this weekend when that little green checkmark wasn't green anymore. Thanks for sticking with me for all these years... Alright, enough melodrama. I'll continue working on my current session when I get home after work today. * no that picture isn't of mine, but it's the same model.
