Other than no way to call out if there's an emergency, I sometimes really wish the internet was gone. I spend way too much time on my computer and phone. Some is good for my business, but often it is just boredom.

Pre-internet and social media was definitely a better place to grow up as a child. The ease of access to information and communication is definitely a benefit for work as you point out, but for the kids it is more of ease of access to bullying and couch potato disease.

If I don't have internet I feel lost because I enjoy playing games on my smartphone and my laptop.  I'm retired so this is how I spend my day.

Absolutely and it doesn't hurt to have a way to produce extra income from it.

In order to place bets, first you should choose a good bookmaker for yourself. The https://takebet.com.gh/betting-tips/basketball (https://takebet.com.gh/betting-tips/basketball) website has a large number of reviews on various bookmakers, as well as extremely useful articles with tips on how to bet on a particular sport correctly.

Personal experience shows that 90% of such problems arise solely due to incorrect router or connection device. Other common causes are incorrect freee vpn (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/free-vpn-for-chrome-vpn-p/majdfhpaihoncoakbjgbdhglocklcgno) or problems from the provider. Therefore, this whole range of problems is solved by the diagnosis and exclusion of extra variants.

Wouldn't it be nice to go back to a pre-Internet world when there was no such thing as WiFi?

You might as well take surveys in a phone booth.

I don't like it when there is a disconnect from the internet. These are extremely difficult times because I don't have all my files on my computer, but most of them are stored in the fastupload repository. Luckily such disconnections don't happen often and you can always use mobile internet to quickly upload pdf (https://fastupload.io/en) or download an archive.

You might want to check around for alternative providers. I have not had my Wi-Fi fail me for more than a few minutes (and that has been rare) since I switched providers to Ziply Fiber a few years ago and my bandwidth speed is 5X faster for less money.

If you have problems connecting the Wi-Fi adapter to the computer and also sometimes there are problems with disconnecting the mouse or keyboard, then I recommend that you update the USB drivers and HID Keyboard Device driver (https://softwaretested.com/drivers/hid-keyboard-device/). Probably this will be the simplest solution to this situation. Just for God's sake, do not use the services of the update center.

Of course it's not the nicest thing that could happen, but considering how many useless things are recommended here, it seems to me that it's even good that you don't have wifi. You have once again protected yourself from fraud and scam. It is very easy to pick up malware and that is why I use office 365 ransomware protection (https://spin.ai/platform/microsoft-office-365/ransomware-protection/). For me, it's just vital.

What do you do when you don't have internet? Usually I have quite a lot of things to do and activities, but sometimes I really want to listen to music, but there is no Internet. In such cases, I am glad that I downloaded the music in advance with mp3juices (https://mp3juices.ltd). It really saves me a lot from time to time.

In our area they are having a big problem with thiefs taking the wiring to sell the metals in them.  Seems like a lot of work for not very much money.

I had a problem with my smart home system. There was no connection to wi-fi or there were some problems with the Internet at all. My friend advised me to first contact the experts of this service https://howly.com/electronics/type-smart-home/issue-security/ (https://howly.com/electronics/type-smart-home/issue-security/). It's convenient because I quickly asked my question, quickly got an answer and paid little money.

My internet was down for a while.  I missed it so much.  I am retired so it is company to me. It finally came back on.  It was local that was down, so I don't think it affected other places.
