So aggravating

Ok so about a year ago my home computer died...I mean it was about a decade old but it was relied upon by my husband and me. We didn't have wifi at that point so when the computer went down, so did the internet. We had to use my laptop for everything, taking it to the library if we needed internet access. Then my laptop went crazy, about 2 months after the computer. We were completely without a computer for a couple months as we didn't have a few hundred dollars to get the laptop fixed and the PC replaced.<br><br>When we finally got a little spare money we got the laptop fixed, but we were still without home internet. We FINALLY managed to get a fancy new desktop about a week ago, and a wifi router to go with it. We even had it professionally installed to avoid any issues. For a whole wonderful day we had full use of both computers and wireless internet. Then the router started acting up. Every day for the past week, we'd wake up to functional wirless that would be disfunctional by the time we left for work.<br><br>So we bypassed the router so we had ethernet on the desktop...inconvenient if we both needed the internet at the same time but at least we HAD internet. Yesterday the desktop stopped wanting to recognize our ethernet. Now, even though we have two good computers, we have now been reduced to bumming wifi off of one of our neighbors. If we need to use the internet, we have to sit cramped in one corner of the back bedroom, and even then it goes in and out.<br><br>I feel like we just can't catch a break! We both need access to computers and the internet for work and I also need it for school, but no matter what it's like we just can't get it together :|

  • I would be calling the people who installed the wi-fi to come back and fix it for free.

  • We have [the office supply store that sold us and installed the desktop and router] coming back to fix it, but the only time we could get an appointment is Saturday...meaning by the time we get it fixed we will have been without properly working desktop and internet for two weeks :|
