The first time you install your shiny brand new computer toy it is a magical experience.

The second time you have to install your shiny brand new computer toy is a complete and total pain in the ass.

I came home today to find an inexplicably “bricked” WiFi router. I’m guessing there was some kind of a power failure because my computer had rebooted as well. After spending a good 45 minutes on the phone with Linksys support trying to figure out what the problem was with the router, their best advice was to return it to the place of purchase.

So I did.

What a waste of a night.

Ugh.
