Loss of internet connectivity
I am posting this in what may be a brief window of connectivity. Last night I was unable to restore either Ethernet or Wireless connectivity in any of the ways that usually work, including a network reset. My ISP (BT, UK) told me they had a fault but later changed their mind; plus I had my own doubts since I had found I could still log on with both my Android tablet and my Windows phone. Although a non-tech it seemed unlikely this would be possible if the broadband service had a fault.
So like the spider I tried and tried again and at last here I am connecting from my Windows 10 (Anniversary) PC --- but for how long? Is there advice for how to deal with this? An orderly checklist of steps to follow, instead of my 'all arms flailing' approach would help. Or should I just start with the network reset?
When I added an Ethernet cable to my Wireless network, I hoped if one failed it could switch to the other. Not so. I have found if one connection goes down so does the other, simultaneously. Why is this?
Well, I am still here without a break so I am going to browse the posts on this forum as long as it lasts.
