New router!
We woke up Monday morning to find there was no internet in the house. I'd guessed it was at the modem level, but testing proved that everything was just fine there. So it was the router. Usually wifi goes first, but even though all the lights looked normal, neither wired nor wireless actually worked. Not even after the appropriate sequence of rebooting.
So there's a new router now, one of those ones with the antennae that make it look a little bit like a drone, or some sort of arcane summoning thing.
It was a bit of a beast to set up, particularly given it required security questions (!) but it's working now, and pretty much everything that had internet before has it again now. (We're still finding devices that were on the 2.4 network, which need the new name. The 5 network is just fine, as it got the same name and key as previous.)
And now, the weather: it's been chilly outside, with frost on the grass and car windows, and ice forming on all the little puddles. That means it's sock weather. I now have a much wider array of wool socks.
The basement is not flooding with quite so much enthusiasm, between the slightly dry-er weather, and the new sandbags.
