| | Aesop Rock - The Greatest Pac Man Victory I | ] | So the wireless totally died today, which pissed me off so fucking much. Like. Completely dead. Can't pick up a signal. I spent about an hour on the phone with Optimum, and finally figured out it wasn't the modem, since we can still get on XBox Live, and the wireless works when connected through an ethernet cable. The router is totally shot, though. We're gonna try to replace it tomorrow and see if that fixes it.
Fuck you, Linksys. I wasn't on the phone with them for more than ten minutes, giving all this information to some assclown somewhere overseas who barely spoke english, and he goes "When did you buy the router?" I thought it was new, since we replaced our old one with this one when Greg couldn't connect to the old one, but it turns out Greg brought his old one from home, which he bought years ago. The warranty was expired, and the guy goes "Before we can resolve the issue, I have to transfer you over to a different department. You'll have to pay some charges and---" and that's all he got out before I said "Fuck that, I'm not paying any fucking charges" and hung up. Unbelieveable.
So I'm hooked up to the modem right now. I went over to Kyle's for a bit to play WoW. I better have this fixed before tomorrow. Raiding starts tomorrow night and goes till Wednesday. I'll be pissed if I can't raid because of a fucking wireless problem. Being hooked up to the router is a pain in the ass. I can always go to Kyle's, though.
I'm still a bit pissed. I'm finishing the leftovers from dinner, probably throwing on The Third Man, and relaxing before I go to bed.
How's everyone else?

they never have english speaking people at places like that. it fucking pisses me off.
Hehe, I can't help but giggle @:
"and the wireless works when connected through an ethernet cable."
Do you mean it works when you're hard wired in (thus not being wireless but wired) or that wireless does work when you've also got a hardwire plugged it?!
Aiiyee, now I've confused myself. I hope you get it resolved!
Yeah, that's what I meant LOL it was late and I was tired and pissed off haha. We got a new router and were about to set it up. Hopefully that fixes it.
Nice nice, what did you get?
:)
Some Belkin router. Just got it set up. Works great haha
I wish words could describe to you how fucking much I hate having to call any sort of electronics company to fix their shit. I feel like the one profession in the world that should speak English is people on the phone. And most of the time, the conversation ends with me a couple beers in screaming and hanging up the phone.
They're so frustrating, but I hope you can get a new (working) router soon. They're so essential.
Yeah, we got one that works. But I'll be damned if I'm ever calling tech support again haha. | |
