I had to take 2 short commercial flights today, and in the 737-800 they announced with much fanfare that we had free in-flight wifi!

Oh the things we were promised - direct connection to a satellite internet provider... streaming, movies, etc. etc. etc... blah blah blah...

I had 45-odd minutes to play with it, and this is the fastest I managed. :patch

Get a email from Xfinity cable about how our old cable modem is no longer supported and we need to upgrade to the new standard DOCSIS 3.0 or higher modem.
:wall

Researched, thoroughly confused now, we're at WallyMart and I see one for $169. :fp
I buy it, hook it up, no "automatic connection & Activation" like the directions say it will do....
Use the app on my phone to have it activated once.......... it still doesn't work.
I try again, reset the modem about six times......... still not working and the most likely culprit is the new modem, it is not sending a signal outward or uploading.

Now I have my iPhone Hot Spot activated and I'm running my computer off of it. :patch
Technician will be out here on Sunday, unless I just box this thing up and take it back to Wallyworld tomorrow. :whipme

Isn't technology just wonderful? :wall

Just when I think my cell is working great and all the apps are functioning well, my phone will do an update and fuck everything up. NO MORE UPDATES! Turned that off!! :fp

So, you can turn your iPhone into a little WiFi access point so you can use cellular signals for your laptop or computer. No cable? No problem, flick the switch and use the cell phone instead.


:fp I can be a geek at times Doc, sorry.
