I called myself looking for something like that but I can't find it if |
| 30 |
it is in there. It is annoying. It would be OK if when I wanted to go |
| 31 |
to a url, check my email or folding wanted to send in data, that it |
| 32 |
would start back up. Thing is, I have to restart the router to get it |
| 33 |
to work. I mean actually unplug the power and then plug it back in. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I'll be looking some more but not sure where else to look. I'm hoping |
| 36 |
for ideas. |
