Hi quizzers

For the THIRD WEEK running I`m having issues with no network. Eventually, after 5 hours of trying and retrying I managed to get service. I did a O2 status ceck - and it lies saying I have 4G and full access to internet but I also have Huawei Hilink staus checker which shows I only have 3G with 2 bars and limited access to internet. Even when I eventually got on the Community, it takes for ever for pages to load and to navigate, so for that reason I`m having to restrict replies to as many as possible in one post. Sorry.

Thank you @MI5 @Cleoriff @jonsie and thanks for the gifs

Thanks for the advice @MI5 

I don`t have a router; I`ve got a dongle which plugs into the side of my laptop.

I disconnected dongle, waited, and re-inserted it - made no difference; also turned laptop off, waited, and restarted - no difference.

it seems to be a time-of-day issue; hense why I post WRQ and answers/results so early - before internet is busy and I can`t get on.
