On Saturday, in my post "Back to the Dark Ages," I confessed my addiction to Active Rain and gave a long and varied account of how losing my internet connection had put a real crimp into my life.
I went on to detail how I had suddenly lost my connection and how I had checked every possible thing from the modem to the wall jack to the pigtails (4 of them) to 3 different computers - all to no avail. I called AT&T and we eliminated everything and decided that I should buy a wireless signal enhancer.
I even checked with my son the electrician who did the original installation and my computer technician.
Everyone seemed to be in agreement on the signal booster.
Then it hit me. I hadn't checked e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. It occurred to me that the pigtail from the modem to the wall jack on the originating end of the signal might be loose. No one had thought of that. I unplugged it (it looked fine, but what was there to lose?) and plugged it back in.
Could it really be that simply?
Well, I'm back.
