A homeowner in Cleveland asked me why her wifi "gets tired" at night, and I couldn't stop thinking about it
She said it with a straight face too, like the router just needed a nap after a long day. I laughed a little, then realized she wasn't wrong exactly. Her 2.4 band was packed with 14 neighbor networks and the router was a 6 year old unit stashed inside a metal media cabinet in the basement. I moved the thing upstairs, switched her to the 5 band, and her speed test jumped from 12 Mbps to 180 in about 20 minutes of work. She tipped me 20 bucks and told her dog I fixed the tired internet. So what's the strangest way a customer has ever described a signal problem to you?
