It's Always Something

I've been having issues with my internet connection since Saturday night at 9:15. Don't know if it was from an update my HIPPIE did while I was gone to town, or something from a storm that passed through around 4:00. Even though we didn't lose power, and I was happily HIPPIEing from 5:30 to 9:15.

Whatever's going on, HIPPIE sometimes says I have router issues. Farmer H reset the router for me. It has always fixed the issue in the past. But now that stupid Microsoft Edge won't connect me to common sites like a local news station. It keeps timing out and saying I don't have an internet connection, but I DO.

Not sure why Even Steven has to make my life miserable this weekend. It's a pain not being able to connect, when there is no issue with our internet connection. I guess I can try to delete the history, but that will be a pain if it doesn't fix what's wrong.

This situation is adding extra crankiness to Mrs. HM's sunny demeanor!

    I don't often get a "no internet" message but when I do I just shut it all down and go make the bed or something then turn it on again and it's good to go.

    River,
    That used to work for me! Farmer H went to the basement to reset the router and the DISH receiver that gives us our internet. After the third try, it worked. But then a couple hours later, I started getting the same problem again. Either we need a new router, or it's the update that installed something that's affecting SOME websites, causing them to time out. I turned off the firewall, and that did not help. I'm thinking of changing my browser, but Microsoft Edge won't take me to the sites I click on! I guess I'll have to try and do it through SETTINGS, and see if it gives me a download option.

    No, not your sunny disposition!! It's like I tell HeWho when he tries to provoke me .... be careful, I can be civil or I can be Sybil, pick one.

    Kathy,
    Heh, heh! I am still trying to deal with this internet connection issue. Do not mess with me now! I think Farmer H is catching on, slow learner that he is.
