Unfortunately you went to the other extreme-- made it so short and
unspecific that the reader had no idea what it was that you were talking
about. Wireless is a hub or router, not a modem, as your subsequent
response indicated. Modems (modulator-demodulator) are now 50 years old.
So while I admire your restraint at not posting all of the details, I
was complaining that you posted so so few that I certainly could not
figure out what you could be talking about. And it was so generic (while
what you refering to was very specific to your particular
hub/router/modem).
There are many aspects of clickbait, and one is to post something so
vague to a help group, that someone, wanting to help, or possibly use,
will click on your site. There are many kinds of bait.
Some might respond to a naked Woman's picture, others, on net help groups
might repond to a tool to help them connect to internet.
