Them: "The WiFi is down."
Me: '... No, I still see the TV & the laptop & Pi, on the network.'
Them: "I can't connect to Flipboard."
Me: 'Ohhh, the internet is down. It's probably at the cable modem. Wait a moment for it to failover to wireless, then try again.'
Them: "Yep, now the WiFi is back."
Most consumer devices these days, if they detect the internet is down over a wifi connection (e.g. by inability to reach
1.1.1.1), will automatically disconnect from that wifi network, or at least show the same UI as if it had.'Ohhh, the internet is down.'
One could argue that's not right either 😉
Pedantic but correct. Only your connection to the internet is down.
Even when there are massive "internet outages" sometimes it's just DNS being bad. The internet works just fine, it's just not working in a way that you can make use of it.
