We're having problems with our internet at times. We have a broadband system but our main house computer has to use dial-up. It then broadcasts wirelessly around the house (password protected, of course!) But every day almost without fail, about half an hour after I've started up the main computer, the wireless system fails. All the little lights on the modem are on, but it's not sending. My laptop will default to whatever system it can find, and the neighbour (we don't know who) has a broadband network that is not password protected, my laptop hooks onto that when the home system goes down, so often the first I know we are off the air is when difficult child 3 roars out in anger that the PS3 is down.
This means it has been difficult child 3 to be the first to find a solution of sorts; if the network is down, I was finding that a restart would resolve it. But difficult child 3 has found a way. He wrote out the procedure for me today.
When I went in to ask him if he could fix the broadcast for me, he said, "Are we offline again? OK, I'll go and defibrillate it."
I had to giggle. I had a mental picture of difficult child 3 bending over the computer armed with paddles and shouting, "CLEAR!"
