Gentlemen, I got to tell you, ubiquity giveth and ubiquity taketh away. Oh, no, what happened? So we're doing a very abridged birthday trip for Michaela. She turned eight on Sunday, which is impossible, but here we are. And we're going out of town for a couple of nights over the weekend. And I did the thing that I love to do when we go out of town, which is I go to one of the local libraries and I borrow a hotspot.

And as I've said, many times on the show, our actual library offers T-Mobile hotspots that you can borrow.

And a neighboring county, which is like a little under half an hour drive from me, offers Verizon hotspots.

And these counties have reciprocity with each other for library cards and things like that. And so if I have the time in the inclination, I'll usually go to the further away county to get the Verizon hotspot. And I did that. And Aaron went with me a couple of days ago. We got her library card at the other library. So now I can like stage two different hotspots on hold like ready and waiting to go.

I'm very excited about this. This is what makes me happy, right? Especially around football season

because I use these hotspots, you know, to get internet to the TV and whatnot when we're tailgating.

Well, anyways, I get home and I have the opportunity, I guess this was yesterday, and I have the opportunity to try

out the hotspot with my shiny new ubiquity travel router that I'm so excited about, right?

And this travel router has worked no sweat with tethering to my phone. It has worked no sweat

tethering to my iPad. All has worked no sweat, tethering to my iPad.

All has been good so far.

And I connected to the Verizon hotspot, and it says,

can you please plug in the internet?

I did.

I did plug in the internet.

Now, admittedly, this was while Verizon was dying.

So I thought, oh, perhaps that's

the problem. But it turns out, I tried again today after Verizon rose from the dead, and it still

is asking, please connect the internet. So I was so excited to have my sweet new ubiquity travel router

to bring with me, and I still still will and it still works and it

can still rebroadcast the hotspots Wi-Fi, but I was connecting it via USBC, which I prefer for a bunch of unimportant reasons and it didn't freaking work and I'm having a sad. Does it have an Ethernet Jack on the hotspot or no? Not on the hotspot, unfortunately. There are hotspots where this exists. In fact, you might have or did.

I have one.
