Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Don’t Get Caught Sitting at the End of the On-Ramp of the Legal Nurse Consulting Superhighway

One of my earlier blogs discussed what Certified Legal Nurse Consultants should do when their Internet isn’t working. First, in the immortal words of Douglas Adams, “Don’t panic!” Second, if you are panicking, “Stop now.”

Rest assured, there’s only one of many things it could be. I always start with the assumption that the Internet is completely down – worldwide – somehow, knowing that Al Gore and I are both suffering always makes me feel better. Then, I’d take some steps to isolate the issue (some of you – no, not you – may have missed the most important point) and get back online.

Assuming, arguendo, my CLNC® amigos, that you’re at home or your legal nurse consulting office and not out free-ranging on your 5G wireless USB 6.0+ card, the third step I’d take (panic having been well-stopped and breathing resumed) is to unplug the power from your DSL/cable/fiber-optic broadband modem and your home router. Then, I’d wait about a minute (one Mississippi, two Mississippi, fifty-three Iowa, sixty OK Go) and plug the modem back in.

After the modem powers up and all the lights are blinking brightly, plug the router back in. The reason you wait is to allow the modem time to acquire the proper signal. Once it’s stable (like a patient), it’s time for the router to take the field.

Now, after you’ve plugged your router back in, let it stabilize. Finally, it’s time to go to your computer, open a web browser and start Googling (again).

Life is meant to be good – if you don’t believe me, Google® it yourself.

Keep on Techin’,

Tom
