Hey, why are you smiling? I don’t take these things lightly, and neither should anyone else. But that is just my opinion. I appreciate you for trying to walk me through it, though.
The smile was only because I'm referring to myself as an armchair quarterback trying to resolve an issue with no way of being hands on. But I completely understand the frustration you are feeling. Even with my tech knowledge and experience, I still run into problems that take a lot of effort to resolve, and that's with me being able to access the equipment myself.
What is the make and model of the router that you are using?
How old is the router and what exactly is the setup of your network? Are you using a mesh network or extenders? In a house or apartment ??
