So yesterday was like any other fricken Saturday as of late, mow lawns (yes that’s lawns), work while doing laundry, go to the gym and head off to Brecks to finish off the night. I get home to check my emails but I can’t no internet connection. We did have some storms earlier in the day but I didn’t really think anything of it at the time because I have a fricken UPS. I call my service to check the router because I can’t get to the homepage which is never good. They can’t access it either so I plug in just the modem, they can see it but nothing else so I get my tablet and start the process all over again. My router and ethernet card on the desktop are toast. I’m pissed because its like 11:30 PM and I have to work at 10 AM this morning at home of course. I head off to fricken Wal-Mart and end up meeting one of my friends who I left at Brecks and we chatted some more and I go looking for an ethernet card which they only had 1 of and it was opened. No way in hell I’m buying that and they don’t have any more? That’s messed up. I trek over to the other Wal-Mart and get one and come back to put it in and call the service back so they can add that MAC address. The girl I ended up getting was about stupid. She says it’s working and I tell her its not the MAC address she has is for my tablet and she’s like I don’t know what a tablet is. Is she kidding me? I got it all working around 1:30 AM by then because I couldn’t just let it sit until the morning. I’m anal like that. Now I need to go scouring ebay for another router and find the paperwork for my UPS because its got a warranty for up to $100,000.

I’m surprised that the UPS didn’t save you. I’ve had power surges pop the little breaker inside cheap ass power strips, and I was able to just keep on going. What kind of UPS was it? I don’t wanna end up at Walmart looking for network cards
