Premium Support
I woke up to my wifi not working and spent half the day trying to fix it. I'm a retired technician and used to manage a help desk with over 1 million contacts per year. I got this. Or not.
I engaged support via chat. I was walked through everything I had already done and asked to do things that had nothing to do with an obvious driver issue. Even though I gave the device name and error code 10 stating it wouldn't start, I had to send a picture of it. I ended up sending nearly a dozen pictures to prove I was completely up to date.
He couldn't understand that I was connected via a wire to a wireless bridge router to my network, thus proving the network and the hard wire in the laptop were working.
After more than 90 minutes, he sent me a note saying they hadn't heard from me for over 24 hours and were closing my ticket. And I paid for this???? Snowflake melted.
I continued researching and found a guy who recommended checking the BIOS setting to ensure it said default. I went into the BIOS and changed nothing and saved nothing. Booted up and it's working. I have no idea.
Zero stars for your premium support. I wish I could take some away.
