While I am glad she's home and not among hoards of people, this set up is a pain.

We live in the country, East Bejessus, if you will. There is only 1 Internet provider and it is horrible. When I'm home alone I have to unplug and plug in the router 5 to 8 times a day because we lose our Internet connection.

There was an emergency with a client and DD was trying to finish stuff to email to her boss for review.  She kept losing the connection.  I can't be online  because it makes it worse.  All I heard from upstairs was %#@&(%.

Oh, I can't be on the phone in case he needs to call her.

This is day #2.  This is going to take some getting used to.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I feel her pain! Many of us are right there with her having similar experiences.....alone, of course.

Can she use her cell phone for work related calls?

[CrazyKittyLvr2]

@Goldengate8361  He can't even call her on her cell, no reception here at the house.

Well that bites!

@CrazyKittyLvr2  You know what? She does have it worse than me! i cant imagine how stressful tbat must be for her.....Fortunately, i think most people are trying to be understsnding about difiiculties like that and, more generally, tech issues.

Ok, I get it now.  My last home had very poor cell phone reception. 

I work from home, too.  Did this before covid hit.  I had to get a new wireless router a few days ago, because I was having to reset everything so often   But if the issue is with your provider, I'm not sure what else she could do?

@CrazyKittyLvr2 

How old is your modem? And your router? Updating them can make a big difference. Have you contacted the provider and done troubleshooting?

@CrazyKittyLvr2    Have you ever investigated satellite internet service like Viastat?

@CrazyKittyLvr2 -What does she do?

I'm glad you posted about this because I know my sil got in trouble for not being able to get something out but he was having connection problems too.

I guess I'm asking because I am just getting annoyed at businesses/bosses that think everything might be an emergency.

Unless saving lives, I can't imagine what would be an emergency.

No offense to you or daughter personally just the thing about businesses that think they are oh so important.

Ok, sorry, just a personal observation/vent.
