Just checking because I fear getting sucked down a rabbit hole of supporting
things that are not our responsibility.

 

Customer as of about 1 month ago reports suddenly yesterday has "no
Internet", yet I see regular traffic graphs and she can stream Netflix fine
using apps.  This is reverse of usual, streaming should be more challenging
than just going to a website.

 

To make things worse, customer chose to buy own router and has a TP-Link, so
I have no visibility into it.  Plus she has no actual computers, just
iPhones and iPads and a Blu-Ray player.  Customer is not at all tech savvy
(doesn't understand that Netflix uses Internet), and seems to expect we will
troubleshoot and fix anything Internet related because she (actually her
parents) are paying us for "Internet".  She reports the same symptoms on all
devices.

 

Is there anything that's happened in the past day (other than Trump related
stuff) that I might be missing?  Like a TP-Link firmware upgrade, or
something Apple pushed out to iPads/iPhones?  It just seems so strange that
no websites at all would load, but Netflix would stream just fine.  I'd love
to blame it on Trump's media blackout but it's a bit of a stretch to connect
those dots.
