Page 8 2018 Spring Home & Garden LINCOLN DAILY NEWS May 2, 2018 Every internet service has periodic problems with equipment that goes down, animals that chew on cables, and normal wear and tear on equipment. When you have an internet outage, you should perform these steps in this order: ■ First reboot your wireless router by unplugging power and then plugging power back in. Wait a few minutes and check to see if service resumes. ■ If service is still out, then power down your internet modem or radio , and then check again after plugging power back in. These are things you can do anytime to attempt to restore or improve your internet service. If service is still out, call your internet provider, informing them that you have already reset power to your router and your modem/radio, and the technician will be able to further help you to get your service restored. Internet in the home will continue to make further improvements and find new uses in the home. We are beyond infancy, buy far from maturity in the provision of and uses for home internet.
