Mobile Broadband As Backup ISP
Although it doesn’t happen all the time that I have internet disruption, it’s quite intimidating when it happens and the ISP people don’t mind giving information about the disruption ahead of time. I can’t remember when was the last time I experienced being disconnected abruptly but it normally takes a couple of minutes to get it fixed after restarting the modem. A short internet disruption is acceptable though, and as long as it doesn’t happen frequently.
I got a normal connection last night when I left the computer after dropping EC. And when I came back to get online again, about half an hour ago when I left, my internet connection was lost. I restarted the computer where the modem is connected hoping it might help as it did before. But nothing happened so I woke up hubby to let him fix it. I did not restart the modem as I’m afraid I could do something wrong. He restarted the modem and even the router, still no connection. He said the signal from our ISP was off so they might be having problems. He suggested that I should use the mobile broadband instead.
Comhem Mobile Broadband
I waited for half an hour and shun using my mobile broadband. I thought the disruption wouldn’t last that long. Talk about people who can’t live without internet nowadays, I am one of them. I was feeling hopeless so I connected with the mobile broadband which I otherwise use only with my netbook outside our home or when we are travelling within the country. The disruption had gotten way too long that it really intimidated me. It was even worse when I checked the ISP’s website and found no information about a drift in our place or something. I got my mobile broadband from the same ISP and luckily enough, while surfing their site, I found out that the price had went down, heaven knows when! I am paying 100sek monthly for 1Gb when it only now costs 69sek/monthly and the new subscription has been added too, which is 10Gb for 149sek monthly. If I were to choose between those two subscriptions if they existed when we purchased it, I should have had the 10Gb. But that would be a heck of a lot of surfing when I have not actually consumed 1Gb of surfing in a month. Now I know that mobile broadband is as good as backup internet connection at home too, when my ISP causes problems.
Network Router Repeaters No More!
I usually have much time to blog over the weekend and sitting in front of the computer to the wee hours of the morning during these days is becoming customary. However, the past weekend was just untimely for our network router repeaters to suddenly stopped working. Hubby couldn’t fix it until later yesterday when it was time for me to prepare the things I needed for my class. And by the time he’d done fixing, I was already tired to blog. All I managed to do was to drop my EC and send important emails. Arrgh!
Network Access Point
The computer I’m working on gets network and internet connections through this wireless network access point or the so- called router repeater, which in turn repeats the speed of the nearby wireless router, hahaa, just the way I understand how it works. Hubby decided to install this so that all the computers would enjoy the best speed no matter how far they were from the router. But unfortunately, the repeater had caused my computer trouble twice already; the first unidentified problem (a month ago) prompted hubby to buy a new one as he thought it might had been damaged or something. Installing it was quite complicated that he was compelled to call the assistance of the D-Link support. He was told then that he could still use the old because it would normally give better performance with two repeaters. All was fixed and done. Not until last weekend that it stopped connecting again. So annoying to have this kind of problem when I don’t even know what the cause must be.
When hubby was done fixing the network and internet connections in my computer, I saw the two repeaters on our coffee table and I thought it couldn’t be the best place for the repeaters to work better than when it’s far from my computer. I asked him if he was serious about placing those ugly things on the coffee table. When he replied yes, I thought he was out of his mind. I don’t want those repeaters on our coffee table, of course. But after dinner, I saw them on the sofa and only then I knew he was no longer using the repeaters. Now, we have the usual one wireless router back again and it’s working just fine without the unnecessary repeaters.
