Couldn't very well go ask him to reset it, but now it's all goods! Island-wide blackout and all and the bus ticket machine almost ate my last 2€ since it happened as I was about to put it in, but worth the trade off:P

A better way would have been too access how router's settings and rebooting it from there. Most people don't bother changing the settings password, so getting in is a piece of cake

You can't reset 99% of modems through settings, you need the power button itself or to cut the power... Also, here the password for the settings is tied to the ISP account, so I don't know it, it's randomly generated and only the ISP and the owner knows it. To change settings, you need that username and password, different from wifi's password, so yeah...

Ah, never had to deal with ISP-provided router's meself

Well, here routers come with new connections and login details are preset even if you can change them. Doubt an 80 year old grandpa knows how to change them though so all that was left was to hope for power to go out and voila!

Modems usually don't have a web UI, they just pass the public IP directly to the router. Every router or router+modem I've seen has had a way to reboot from the web UI though. They have to, since rebooting is needed after changing many settings. I don't know if rebooting the router would have been enough though.

I usually reboot both whenever I have internet problems just In case, so I have no idea which one is the culprit, but the modem just converts the PPPoE or whatever connection to a LAN connection the router can recognize, the router does most of the work.

I know, but for DNS issues you have to hard-reset, not soft-reset. Soft resetting fixes a lot of things IF available (routers here don't support that though since they often are older even if they use web UI), while hard resetting makes it so all data packets are dropped and new ones are requested, fixing DNS (or similar) issues. It's similar to pressing power for 10 seconds (I assume you know that trick).

I think that depends on the router, some probably work the exact same way when doing a soft reset.
At least I know that doing a soft reset causes all connections on my PC to be dropped.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
