Lightning Strikes

Our internet router got fried!!

There was a thunderstorm overnight from Sunday to Monday and lightning fried our router which in turn fried our internet connection card. So we were without internet yesterday.

Perfect timing - we already had technicians coming to the house Monday afternoon to update our phone system. (Something prescheduled by the phone company.) So they were able to take a look at the router at the same time and replace it. Mark had to bring the 'tower' in today to replace the card. Now everything's up and running again.

We had everything else plugged into a 'six-way' but forgot to double & triple check everything and the router wasn't. Lesson learned.
