Perhaps a fern, or a rhododendron, possibly.

Eek


I'm glad I'm not the only one skeptical.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

well folks, I got to go w ensigmatic on this one. I am not a network geek but I know a very good network security person.

He told me until things get settled out some it would be wise to restart the device every night.

I know sdy has 3 letters. Don't read too much into that. Let me go water the ferns. Smile

Since it's the Russians doing it why doesn't Mueller investigate this instead of waisting anymore time on the collusion thing?

Read this warning a few days ago and wondered why didn't t the board tell me about it in the first place...
While doing a factory reset is a PITA for those who like to configure the hell out of every little option the setup has, then the fact remains that most people living in the second, third and fourth world own routers that haven't had a firmware update in the current century and what is already fooked, fooked will remain until the next generation of obsolete routers becomes available and affordable to us.

So I went and unplugged my old trusty TP link because that is what I do three or four times a day to keep it running and my devices connected and considered the matter solved as far as I can do it. Cool

If the FBI can prevent another school shooting, or the next Boston Marathon Bombing, then, and only then, will I MAYBE reboot my damn router.


Arc.

Who cares about them. Microsoft managed to screw my home network sharing between computers with the latest update. I could've used a warning.

Just to be clear. Did they mean the wireless encryption key, or the administrator password for the router?


The password you set up for router access is the way I understood it.

It is why you save the config file first with all the settings. Eek
