We've been headed backwards since mask mandates were removed. Especially in healthcare settings. Covid isn't something that's kept at bay with a singular solution. Multiple mitigation are needed and it's not going to get any better without them. Look at the rates of folks getting bolstered still because it's dismal. Vaccines also only mitigate severity or acute infection and don't do anything about long term outcomes.

Yeah, that's a big reason I went with their router. That and I didn't wanna owe Spectrum anymore than I needed to since my last router was their router.

Did they know what was going on? I truly know nothing about how tech like this works.

I was afraid it was the router. I also didn't know the won router fee which is super annoying. We're planning on moving to another state in a few months so I'll take u/bigspoutwhale867's advice to check the lights on the router to see if it says anything helpful before calling.

Buying a new router for just a few months seems like a pain.
