I swear to loving god
so I bring this computer back home for spring break
literally as soon as I start playing video games on it the internet goes out for everyone in the house
so I bring it up and everyone's like "yeah okay our internet went out too but now it's back" and they told me to get onto the network with the number 5 in it
I look in wifi and I don't find it so I call my dad in and he's browsing through everything and he's like "restart" so I do
come back on, still can't find it
TURNS OUT my computer is physically incapable of finding this network
I searched online and entered a few commands into the console in order to check on my wifi adapter
it can only read 2.4GHz networks, not 5GHz ones, which is presumably what this "5" network is
so the only loving way I could fix the internet was to reset the router and kick everyone off the internet for five minutes
great
so now I'm eager to know what the forget I have to buy or do to get my computer to stop being such a loving stuffshow
