I can no longer connect to the wifi at home, which used to work fine, and I have rebooted, etc., but can't solve the problem. My phone says to turn it back on or contact IPS. Is there anything else I can try besides rebooting before contacting the provider ？?

rak,

Yes ～, then you may have done all you can.
As I mentioned before, if your router has LEDs, you may be able to get some idea of what is going on by looking at the blinking LEDs. It would also be useful to explain the situation to the provider.

It is also possible that there is an internet outage all around your home
In that case, you will get a good WiFi signal on your phone or PC （ but no internet connection ）.

I'm not sure if the problem is due to bad weather ？
We recently replaced our router with a newer one, but the last few days have not been good. It is very common to suddenly lose connection during hurricane season, heavy rain, or strong winds. It is a common occurrence in Hawaii.

In the end, we had a contractor come and update the router to fix the problem. Before calling the vendor, I noticed that the phone line was also ruined.

It's true that Hawaii's bad weather only makes the connection worse!

It's not the weather. It's just a system problem.

If you don't update your system, it will become unusable one day.

The TV screen, email, etc. will tell you that the Internet will be unavailable for
this time on this day because of the update. You will receive a message saying
.

Maybe the update did not work.

Weather will not cause equipment malfunction.

All are system problems.

Hello everyone.
We have a person who lives in San Diego who will be playing the koto for an important event.
However, according to the person, it is very difficult to bring a koto from San Diego, so we are looking for someone in the Bay Area who can lend us a koto.
Is there anyone who has a zither and would be willing to lend it to us ？
We would also be grateful. I know this is a self-serving question, but please do not hesitate to ask.

I am currently on a student visa, but my visa is due to expire this year, and I have heard that I can stay here legally as long as my I-20 is valid.
I would like to know if you have stayed in Japan with an I-20 after your visa expired （ and how long you stayed ） or if you know an immigration attorney who is familiar with F-1 visas
.

I have a problem with stray cats.

The person who lives across the street from our house has more than 10 cats on the loose and they are very annoying.

* Feces and urine in our yard
* Clawing and damaging our car
* Coming to our yard and making noise at night (fighting and meowing noisily)
* Ruining our yard

They are not neutered and are increasing.
2-3 animals a year are killed by cars.
I warned the owner once, but they are not my cats. I'm just feeding them ！ what's wrong ！ and he was upset.

The Animal Control Services website has a
ANIMAL CRUELTY / NEGLECT INVESTIGATIONS section and they will investigate if you ask, but I think it will end with a warning.

If anyone has any experience with the feral cat problem, has solved it, or knows how to solve it, please let me know.
Please do.

We are not trying to protect our house from cats, but we have had severe bird damage on our lanai, and we have tried many things. At first, when we put up the plastic spiky sheets with short black spiky sheets, small birds stopped coming, but big pigeons perched on the spiky sheets with no problem, even though the spiky sheets were put up. I also added a sheet with longer gray spikes, and the big birds stopped coming. I found a lot of goods to protect cats from birds on Amazon.com, so why don't you give them a try?

I have consulted with the Humane Society before for similar advice. I was told that they would loan me a trap and I would set it up and capture the animal myself. I was told that I would be neutered once captured and then released in the same place, and I gave up because that would not be a solution.
I know this is not helpful at all, but I shared it as information.

But stop excluding the cats."
and some people have trouble with that.
Finally, we all complained
to the area manager about the feces and meowing, and
all but a few were taken in by the humane society.

I have looked it up on the internet, but I don't understand it well enough. I would like to know more about this.

I think you're wrong ？
Poor maintenance should be the same violation as jaywalking or something else, license will be deducted, no Dismiss unless you fight it in court
What you're saying is that to continue driving that car, after fixing the fault, you have to go to CHP to confirm it's fixed is required
license and car are not the same thing

If you get a ticket for a poorly maintained car with a lamp out or something, fixing it won't make it a Dismiss
License and car are different If you want to drive that car, fix it and go to CHP, DMV and get it checked. Of course

I know that if you are a US citizen, it is impossible to renew your Japanese passport in the US because you cannot present your green card, but
can you renew your Japanese passport while you are temporarily in Japan for a few weeks ？
I looked on the website, All I need to renew is the passport that is about to expire and an application form.
Since it takes 7 days from application to receipt, is it theoretically possible to renew my Japanese passport during my temporary stay
even after obtaining US citizenship?

I'd like to know how to get a US passport without citizenship. Please tell me.

Cheating a non-Japanese out of a Japanese passport is the same as cheating a non-US citizen out of a US passport. Since there are crooks who cheat Japanese passport without being Japanese, I guess they cheat American passport with lie and fabrication too.

There are many countries in Southeast Asia that do not require a visa with a Japanese passport. However, there are a few countries in Southeast Asia that require visas with an American passport, such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, etc.
Thailand does not require a visa with both a Japanese and American passport
If you use a Japanese passport to enter and leave Japan and an American passport to enter and leave the US, you will be able to pass through immigration with a face pass in most cases. If you use your US passport, you can pass through immigration with a face pass.

You can't get an American passport without citizenship.
It's a different dimension from the passport you originally had and maintained with Japanese citizenship. You can't be trusted because you keep saying random things.

These days, everything is recorded in the IC chip in the passport, so I think the IC chip history will tell us that the Topix just came from the US.
Maybe it is entered in the IC chip that you are a permanent resident holder. If so, you might be asked to bring your GC for renewal in Japan.

It doesn't have to be difficult: NON CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is just an ordinary traffic violation. Speeding, jaywalking, passing under a certain traffic light, stopping at a certain point, and so on.
On the other hand, a CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is a ticket for a light violation, a cracked windshield, or any other vehicle defect that cannot be prevented, but you can fix the defect and go to the CHP to prove that it was fixed. No violation points will be given. However, there is a $25 fee.
