Why ... Comcast selectively discriminates against my house only. Next door's wifi works fine, but mine doesn't. Judging from the fact that directly plugging in the modem's wire into the computer doesn't work, the source is suspect...

Also, always on Fridays.

Did someone forget to pay the bill?

It started pouring rain at a baseball game, and I got to walk through one of the highest crime rate cities, in the dark and pouring rain. Fun!

Ooh, I've done that before, Quinnr. It ain't fun.

See: Frankston, Victoria.

Look on the bright side; the rain will deter all the fair-weather-criminals! Only those artisans truly devoted to their craft will be wandering the streets in a downpour.

:p
I'd almost bet someone at Comcast is toggling the breaker to my house's internet every friday just for the lolz.

@Tellemarius — My dad determined that it was not our router's problem, but the cable that leads into our house. Comcast probably doesn't work on Saturdays. So... yeah.

Give it a shot anyways. It's possible that Comcast has a contractor in the area who does work on Saturdays. I used to be one of them

Do you get a message on your computer saying you have a connection?

The network icon has a cute little yellow triangle with a black !. The error thrown by Chrome is 'could not find DNS server'. Everything connected to that internet, such as my internet phone or WiFi, timed out each time they tried todo stuff. I looked at the connection information, and the Recieved Packets stayed constant.

I don't think is remotely enough info to help

OH yes it is

Change DNS server settings on the computer to the google dns 8.8.8.8 alternate 8.8.4.4
