Is the Wi-Fi down, or is Internet access down? Because you're probably gonna need a gerbil instead of that hamster

Don't worry. The magic 'may' return.
You must appease the Machine Spirits.
Have you tried to turn it off and on again?
You guys, WiFi isn't magic it's science so you must sacrifice a Scientist.
The hamster has a PhD
Does it have to be a good one or will one that's shilling for fossil fuel interests do?

Sorry, that’s a v1.18.345 hamster so your sacrifice won’t work as your router only accepts v1.2.829 or higher.
Hello I accidentally sacrificed Hamster Pro Max to my regular Pro router. There weren't any warnings or errors it just took its soul, and now when I turn it on the light flashes red 3 times and for a few seconds I can see the eighth circle of hell where Diviners are forced to walk backwards blinded by their own tears.
What I want to ask is, can I extend the timer to at least a minute? This super cute witch winked at me, but when I try to ask her out all I hear are screams of the damned and then the connection goes down please help me.

I can't do full moon, is there an option for lycanthropycally-challenged?

But v1.18.x is higher than v1.2.x? 🤨
The 18th update of version 1 vs the 2nd update of version 1.
Please search before asking questions.
Either this is the Hamster pro max v1.2 v18.345 which is different from the Hamster Max v1.0 or the router can’t parse two digit minor versions because it’s too old.
But I demand instant answers to my question regardless of the quality of my writing skills and in total disregard of time of the day?!
Stupid router. v1.18.345 is the higher one. The hamster must have introduced breaking changes if they're incompatible.
No, v1.2 is the higher version. The full name is "hamster gen 3 maxpro v1.2"
v1.18 was the final version of "hamster gen 3 maxpro first edition."
I was gonna say that the hamster is too new and the router can’t parse minor versions with two digits in it, but I like your answer better.
The actual solution is to flash it with OpenWRT
How do you flash OpenWRT on a hamster? Asking for a friend
Step 1:
Thank you, this solution worked perfectly.
I dunno when it became the norm to say the WiFi's down when it's actually totally fine and unrelated to the internet connection being down.
People at my work have said this even though they're using docks plugged with Cat 5.
Cat5? Not even Cat5e? You sure the problem isn't just that their connection is 10Mbps or worse and we sites aren't just taking a couple minutes to load?
Non-technical people don't have any idea what a LAN is, and can't imagine any reason for WiFi to exist other than to get their device on the Internet.
So WiFi becomes a synonym for "Internet connection", perfectly interchangeably.
And in most operating systems the wifi icon turns into some other error icon if there's no internet. So I can see the confusion.
Probably because ISPs like to fob you off with suggestions of poor wifi rather than address the actual internet issue you contact them about.
Rogers is down right now and I’m this close to grabbing the neighbor’s cat to do this.
If you it’s your neighborhood cat, then it’s probably only cat 1 or cat 2, so it won’t be of much use to you unless you wanna play Zork on your local community college’s mainframe. That might work.
Back in the day, the fuzzy ones had to sacrifice bandwidth for cuteness.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
First of all, fuck Rogers with a rusty statue of a cactus, and second, fuck them again.
I don't understand how a company that big can be that bad at uptime. I moved to Teksavvy years ago and haven't had any outages since. I refuse to do direct business with any of the big three.
What’s Teksavvy and how can I get it?
ISP. They they piggyback off Rogers/Cogeco/whoever for the last mile connection, but in my experience have been more reliable and haven't had any of the downtime that Rogers has.
