My 9 year old (!) Motorolla modem/wifi router finally died last night. Literally stopped working and I unplugged it and plugged it back in and a puff of smoke came from the box and that was that. I literally had to just watch regular rear end television before bed. (News reported that some people died in various ways) Now I'm going to BEST BUY to get a SICK new Netgear modem/wifi router combo. I'm gonna name my network something funny so all the idiots who look for free wifi at the restaurant downstairs will see it

Waiting for my piece of poo poo Linksys router to finally give up the ghost so that I can have an excuse to buy one of these: https://thinkpuffy.com/ Best Buy is fine for when I need something right away but Micro Center's better

Ok OP listen to me carefully. The best way to maximize the life span of your new router is pretty straightforward but you have to follow these instructions exactly. OK? First, secure the directions to best buy. Its now your route to your Router. Then go to your local Best Buy. Either that or be a Bezos Amazon Cuck. Buy a Router. Get a high quality one. Also make sure to get one with a high capacity bandwidth. Here's the tricky part: Take the Router and fill it up with with the internet. Have it be around your body temperature in gigabytes (about 98.6 degrees so 98.6 gigbytes) Then insert it into your rectum and fill that bad boy up with delicious internet! Thats it! Good luck OP!!!

When the Geek Squad comes tearfully give them your old modem/router in an elaborately decorated shoe box and ask when and where they'll bury it. Also what are you going to name your wifi network? Sounds like something food safety related could make for some fun and wacky hijinks!

A recent exploit was discovered for some Netgear cable modems. Netgear C6250EMR and CG3700EMR are known to be vulnerable but there are probably others. Edit: The box says it only supports DOCCIS 3.0 so in the near future your poo poo posting may be slower than other goons riding anime torrents and MS paint threads with DOCCIS 3.1 modems

Oh sure, you can go get a new modem but you can't be bothered to keep us updated on on Malaysian Airlines 370. Selfish prick.

Name your wifi "Free (cafe blew you wifi) Internet" and then put a password on it! That'd be super goofy! Or maybe FBI Surveillance van!
