@!#$%^&*()_ Orbi...

[SueDonim]

I hate being tech dumb.

So, at midday I get an email from Electric Kiwi telling me to plug in the Orbi as I'm now with them... Except the thing then refuses to let me on the internet. Reset. Unplug. Replug. Reset - do all those things for THREE Farkin HOURS!!!

Only to be told once I replaced the old modem and got onto E K chat, that using the old modem was fine, the Orbi isn't necessary...

Duh.

I hate being tech dumb. And I wish I had wine. 

I sympathise. I used to be very tech-savvy albeit in a very specialised field and even then was sometimes in the "@!#$%^&*()_" space so fully understand the frustration of it, even when you know what you're doing. I'm also feeling pretty tech-dumb over the phone stuff in the other thread. When you don't have to use it every day it quickly gets lost.
