   Welcome back Jeff. Yeah when I had the router PW, I was able to reset the   
   router and get back on. Yeah and I'm using a Lenovo piece of shit laptop   
   (don't ever buy lenovo or really any cheap laptop).   
      
   I think it could be a gamer on another machine who has keeps screwing   
   with the wifi antenna, but I really do not think he's smart enough to   
   limit me at the router. Seems to happen when his light is on.   
      
   I also keep getting the message: you may need additional info to log on   
   (from memory or similar to that). It comes and goes, and tries to   
   redirect me to the ISP's nag screen, usually used to tell u your quota   
   has been used up. But now it does not load the page and instead you get:   
   "Oops something went wrong" and loads a blank nothing screen. WTF?   
      
   So they are trying to tell me something? They don't like the sites I go   
   to? Too bad, I don't do any really serious hacking and very little if any   
   legit porn. The router has never been much good. They are blocking my   
   access to their DNS servers, but that does not work when I use Tor or   
   socks protocol since the DNS is encrypted to tor and they usually don't   
   block socks protocol.
