French Roast is quite nice this morning.
Too bad I'm at work.
Sorry 'bout that. At least coffee takes the edge off.

I would unplug the power to your router for a minute and see if that clears things up.
I'm assuming your router also runs your wireless.
Iagree reset the router

I'm glad you remember that.

It does suck when something that should work 24/7 doesn't and you depend on it.

Most annoying to be sure.

Yup, whenever our power fails (and it does so three or four times a year) I generally have to reboot both the cable modem and router. Crime-Warner Cable doesn't do the best job reconnecting to the modem after power fails, and this confuses/frustrates the router. Annoyed

In home-improvement news, although it's still raining, I was able to install the new wireless security keypad for the garage door opener this afternoon. All praise to the Overhead Door company for their clear and simple procedures and documentation. Bowdown

Yup, that's when it's good to have the modem and router both on the same power strip, and instead of un/re-plugging each of them, you just turn off the power strip and turn it back on. One switch, both devices reset at the same time.

Sure, don't see why not. Printer won't be bothered in the least by it. If the TV is on, it will just take a minute to reboot and renegotiate the HDMI/HDCP connection to the cable box.

It sure is nice to have Tucker the Yorkie sitting on my lap. It helps take my mind off updating my resume and applying for a new job.

Having the tv off would be the least annoying part of that scenario laugh out loud

From the iota I know about you, finding a job should not be very difficult. Finding one with a minimal amount of lunkheads, maybe. But not just finding one.
