Round 5

ISP tech showed up at 9:30AM. Nice guy, very pleasant. He installed the Fios box outside the house, connected to the existing COAX in the house. He then installed the "modem" inside the house then into my WiFi-router. Powered up my computer and internet connection worked. Tech went away after seeing that my computer accessed the internet.

Later in the day my home network is renamed. My partner's computer think the network has a different name. Then my computer refused to go on line. Can't access our printers.

After several very frustrating hours, it hit on me to connect the computer to the network through the WiFi. Both computers are able to access the internet, both see the WiFi connected printers.. Only drawback is that my WiFi is still only 801n and not the AC so data rate is only 300Mbits/sec instead of 1Gbit/sec.

When I have time, I'll find out why its not happy with ethernet cable to the router.

Not a very happy camper. This problem is definitely not something ISP will help.

Now have to go find out how to rename the network to what I used to have it. and how to restart the DNS server??? So why does it work with WiFi connection?
