A year ago the WIFI went stopped working at my parents house during christmas, i simply just unplugged the router and plugged it back in. It worked.
My mom acted like i performed surgery. Told everyone at dinner i was "so good with computers"
I literally just unplugged it.
Now everytime i visit there is a list. Printer wont work. Phone is slow. The tv isnt connecting. My dads laptop is slow it has a virus ( It doesn't he just has 40 tabs open)
I dont know how to fix any of this. i just google and use chatgpt while im there and pretend i know what im doing. Most of the times i just unplug still or restart them and they think im a genius.
Got here today. There is already a list on the counter shes ben waiting for me to come a fix. 6 things one says "Computer is slow ( Very important)"
what have i gotten myself into lmao i guess its alright though
TL:DR unplugged a router 1 year ago. Now im the family IT support forever.
