Ya router and satellite box is in basement. Do you unplug router? I used to just cycle power, with everything hooked up. They are telling me to unplug router from modem, cycle down power to modem, turn off computer, and repower modem and computer seperately. Does this work?
Little trick now. I was thinking turning off breaker in garage. But unplugging router is tougher. |

Well, if it's alignment, I wouldn't be much help. But the other stuff I can help with. I know you are out of the house this Saturday, but maybe a weekend after that some time I can arrange to head up there. May end up with some other Doofs and zINt types in tow.

I wonder, with a 1 degree margin of error, depending on how far down the post is buried, could frost heave have changed it enough to ball it up for you?

My wireless connection is not working. Luckily computer used to be LR, and there is ethernet cable.
I tried ctrl F2, with the towe symbol. When I got to connect to, from start menu, and click wirelss, it says failed. In the past when having problems, I have tried the cable, with no better luck, and the desktop, with same results. This almost sounds like laptop is bad, since it won't even look for wireless sources??? |

Possiblly. As far as trees growing, you would think spring would be ok, since no leafs?? This started getting bad a few weeks ago. Frost heave??

OK, I know I'm old and use ancient technology.........but it works.
Any reason you don't use DSL? Switched to it several years ago and have no problems with it.

I wish I could use DSL, its faster. But not available to me. Were not all city slickers. No natural gas, no sewer, no water, and no cable.

Good news. Talked to Wildblue, gonna stop by around 5 on Friday. No charge. He thinks it is alignment. It seems to go out about 4pm.
Any guess on my new wirelss problem?? |

When mine goes down, I pull the power plug for like 15 seconds, then fire it back up. That fixes it. That and reboot your computer.
But I think you can't get to your router, right?

However you work it, that's where I'd start.

Rebooting brought back the wireless on the laptop. What BS these things are. They are worse then Harleys.
