The story of Bug Antenna Router

The Bug Antenna Router sat on top of the family computer tower, its three antennas pointed in random directions by whoever last fixed it. Its lights blinked like it was thinking hard. When the internet dropped, Dad would unplug it, count to ten and plug it back in, which became the most trusted tech support method in history.

Fun fact

Kids discovered the signal was strongest in the hallway closet, which quickly became the most popular room in the house.
