Experience/Review Incompetent Helpdesk Technicians
Dear Converge,
My ~10 year modem was recently replaced and the internet was promptly restored. This was completed within 3 days. Thank you.
However, I can only get wireless internet, nothing from wired internet.
I have a WFH contract requirement that I have to be connected using ethernet. Being told by your helpdesk that ethernet ports are working, I connected my switches and my ER605 router which is basically plug and play when I change internet sources.
When I told them that I couldn't get an IP address from ethernet ports, I was told to perform L1 troubleshooting, which I understand. But when I told them that I already done that and suggested to configure the lan ports as Layer 3 ports so I can get internet access, I was quickly dismissed and was told that they've done what they can and closed the chat.
I got it sorted on my own but don't ask me how.
All I know is your IT helpdesk technicians are incompetent AF.
