WiFi Woes

I've been unable to blog for a couple of days because my WiFi connection wasn't working. After trying the usual fix - the one Verizon recommended the last time I called them - tun it off, wait 30 seconds and turn it on again - to no avail, it gradually began to dawn on me that the problem might be with my computer.  My first clue was that I could still send and receive e-mails on my tablet. I'm slow but I do get there eventually. I did some trouble shooting with the help of a nifty program I found on my computer and was told, after the usual turn it off and turn it on again, to plug in an ether net cord to my computer and the router.  I have been wondering for a long time what that yellow cord was that the guys left bundled up beside the router when it was installed but didn't want to throw it away. So glad I didn't. Turns out that it's the ether net connector cord. Who knew? Now the big question is what will happen when I unplug the cord so I can put my laptop away. We shall see.
