She then got a router -- "a plug-in, no problem, can't go wrong, no hu-hu", &c &c, the man told us. The first effort to connect the router failed by frying her computer. Once that was fixed, the second effort failed with equally disastrous results: it cut HER off the 'Net. I had to cut the router out of the circuit and reboot her computer a dozen times to get Cox Cable to acknowledge that she was still a valued customer. She finally asked ME to read the manual. It is incoherent. The poorly translated owner's manual for my old '65 Honda 50 made more sense. It is gibberish. I will have to pay someone to make this damned thing work. EVERYONE has told me to avoid cable connections and routers, and I believe I know why now! Stick with the old, proven technology, brethren and sistren!
