| This morning after being on the internet on my tablet for a while, the internet dropped. Not unusual, except it wouldn't come back (wifi was still live). Then I discovered my pc, on the same switch as the wifi router, also wouldn't connect (that is unusual). MrsD.'s pc (directly connected to the DSL modem) OTOH has no internet issues. WTF? I decided try the modem's dodgy-at-best wifi. I flipped it over to copy the wifi password, then when I went to connect my tablet, the usual internet connection came back up solid on both my tablet and pc. Guessing some sort of cabling issue, except there was no physical disturbance to cause it. The ~40-ft ethermet cable connecting the modem to the other wifi router and my pc via a switch is old AF.
