Until then, the old router CAN still broadcast wifi signals, hence how I'm typing this via my iPad, but cable connections are bust. It sucks. I had a breakdown thanks to that storm.

So I'm basically stuck trying to do things on an iPad. Easier said than done. The keyboard is awkward for me to type on, it takes forever to write stuffs. I'm too accustomed to the monolith gaming keyboard my computer has...
