    My ISP doesn’t even tell you if your WAN is down when you check your service status on their app. It just tells you to “check your Wi-Fi router and reset if necessary”.

    If you use your own router, it won’t even tell you that, it just says “issue finding wifi 360 information”.

      Oh no, this is what I’m talking about. But in our case, those stupid people don’t distinguish between Wifi and LAN anymore anywhere in their anything.

      Edit: one day, a dubious network worker came to my flat saying they are testing the Wifi provided by the apartment. I told him I don’t need it because I set up my Wifi on my own.

      Then he told that’s impossible because if I’m using Wifi I must be using the hardware of the apartment.

      Turned out, he can’t distinguish between the fiber port and a Wifi router…

      I wanted to know if he was sent by the house maintenance or just another salesman. But how can you talk with a person on IT, when he continues mixing up technological terms!?

      Eventually I got upset and closed the intercom.
