TheShader Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Woke up this morning to my WiFi letting absolutely nobody connect to it. Every device just gets a 'Failed to connect' message and nothing else. I don't know what it is. I'm not looking for advice, just venting, so I put the PCCB tag cause this isn't meant to be technical or advice. I just hate my life right now.

TheShader Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 I turned my laptop into a mobile hotspot for the time being but now my phone can't connect to THAT network because of an IP Configuration failure. Haven't tried other devices yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always . I'm still at early stages of trying to figure things out. If I can get my laptop to be converted to a hotspot that'll also let me chill out for a bit instead of going straight for the router.

TheShader Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Figured out the problem with the hotspot pretty easy peasy, the network sharing needed to be set to send my internet from my ethernet to the hotspot network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShader Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Not having a laptop forced me to solve the problem. Just a good ol fashioned factory reset of all devices involved in providing other devices with internet and all is well. Sometimes you don't have time for nuance. Sometimes the answer really is just a good ol nuclear option off the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
