Verizon DSL router went down in the next city. They got it up, but the wife still couldn’t connect to our wireless router with her laptop. She spent a long time with tech support and they finally told her to contact "Linksys". Linksys' support was in India and she got so frustrated with the guy she hung up.

I get home, right click the connection and hit "repair". A message box appears and tells me the wireless switch is off. Being lazy, I google 'Vaio/wireless switch' and the link title tells me it's on the front of the machine. Time to fix: under 3 minutes.

I know it's child's play but now my wife thinks I'm a god...
