Frustration

After having my whole afternoon ruined, I'm now sitting in front of my computer to retell the story of how my day turned bad with some minor events.

The day started out like a normal study day, going to class and coming back after being done with it. Upon returning home for a rest, I found out that the internet was down (not that it was the first time), so I fiddled with the router to see if I could get it back on track working. Frustration one came in knocking my door when even after an hour of switching off and on the router the connection still doesn't work.

With that, I decided to try my luck at the router settings to improve its function only to realize later that I may have made an irreversible damage. This is because after that certain handling, the router started to have a total meltdown in its function. I couldn't even go into the main page to configure the router. And to fuel the fire on, I couldn't even reset the router.

I was lucky that I could get a friend of mine who lives nearby to come and take a look at the router and set up a direct line to my computer (if not for that, I wouldn't even be able to write and post this blog). But my friend was also at the mercy of the router's evil plans to stop me from going online.

Knowing that there wasn't much I could do, I decided to bring the router to the nearest computer technician to have it diagnosed and tested for its problems. I was then told that all ASUS product were handled in a center further away, which I also went.

Reaching the center, I was told that just for a simple diagnosis and test I would have to pay 300rub and since my warranty has run out if there is anything wrong with it I would have to pay for the service myself. Moreover, just for the testing, I had to leave my router for a stunning 7 days ! Which after hearing I said no thank you.

On the way back, I stopped by an electronic shop to check out the prices for a normal router, it ranges from 1500rub til 2500rub. Hate the fact I might have to use that amount of money after the trip I took to Nizhny for the Intervarsity Games. Sorry Mum and Dad beforehand for the extra cash that I might be using.
