It died Ugly!

Sometime last week my wireless modem died ugly. I talked to a help desk guy for about a hour doing many things to bring it back to life. I rewired, disconnected, reset and spent the week end feeling like a knucklehead for not being able to fix my problem. In my opinion it was the modem but yet, I did have the AT&T tech come out. First thing out of the box she pulled a new modem out of the truck and hooked it up. Minor tweaking and I was back on the air. Should have gone to Radio shack and bought a new modem. At least AT&T lowered their price from $139.00 to $79
.00 to replace my system.
I am back on the air now and as soon as I think of something worth saying, I'll say it. MUD
