For the past few days I was without internet service at home. The only way to access internet was through office computer.
The reason was my modem has gone. When a thunderstorm occur, you have no chance to take any action. It is very fast.
I heard something clicking. Ah, must be at the modem. When tested, no dialing were successful. When I tried to access the admin through browser, it still work, but testing on ADSL fail.
Oh! Another RM150 need to spend. Otherwise no more internet.
Today, after spending sometime at The Mines' IT Center, I decided to buy a new Aztech.
I rush back to test the modem. Hopefully, I can access internet again from home. But, one light fail to appear, A light with a word Eth beside it. Ah! is it due to the NIC? No. After testing with my old modem, the NIC work. Only the DSL light is off (for the old modem).
I phone the shop. I was asked to go back to the shop. OK. But another RM2 for parking. I've got a replacement. The light turn on when connected to network point at the shop.
I tried to rush back as soon as possible. But the road was full of car. There was a long traffic jam outside the build towards the exit. Oh1 The NAM peoples are having dinner at The Palace of the Golden Horses. After sometime I reach home.
Now I can use internet again. But this time I also buy a new equipment. A surge protector. I connect my telephone line through the surge protector. By the will of Allah, I will not lose the modem as soon as the previous one.
