In Which I Fix My Girlfriend’s Grandparents’ WiFi and Am Hailed as a Conquering Hero

An epic heroic tale of plugging and unplugging the power cord of a wireless router:

Internet Explorer 6 was minimized then maximized. The Compaq Presario was unplugged then plugged back in. The old mouse was brought out and plugged in beside the new mouse. Still, The Google did not load.
