We do have fiber coming soon in our area, but I don't see a need for it and it'll double my internet bill. I pay $35 a month and Lisa can stream movies, so that's good enough for me.
 
It’s stuck in Airplane mode

Airplane mode is not active - if it was, it would be blue. Just click on the WiFi area and it should show you a list of available networks.

Here is a speedtest I just took (my plan is for 250 Mbps down, and 30 Mbps up):

Just tried an Internet Speedtest

Do a google search for speedtest. The first result should be in a box - run that one and see what it comes up with. The second one should be for the Ookla speedtest - run that one and see what it comes up with. Your latency looks good, so the speeds should be a lot higher.
 
Here’s what those found

You should probably keep your eye out for loose parts.

More than that. I custom ordered a '90 Ford E150 Cargo van (service van for tools), and my van was the first built after 2 week shutdown at the ford factory for summer break, and they missed sealing the cowl seal and couldn't understand why the interior floors were getting soaked when it was raining and even worse when driving. My van was under 2 weeks old.

Took them a week to figure it out at the ford dealer. They said they would have the van for 2 weeks to fix it, then would take a few more days to dry all the matting and clean it, and I told them to keep it and give me all my money back. They didn't like that, but with Connecticut's lemon law (at the time), they didn't have a choice. They made one last ditch offer to me telling me they'd give me 50% of my money back. Seems when the news gets involved Ford was trying to save face. I told them I wanted 75% back, and we settled at 60% money back (plus the van with full repairs, all new matting, and a loaner van for 3 weeks).
 
It wont be here till tomorrow, before ordering it said by 3pm today, after ordering I got an email said it'd be here tomorrow

One way you can make sure that it is your wifi that is not working properly is to disable the wifi on the laptop (that switch on the side should turn it off), then use an ethernet cable to connect the laptop to your modem directly (the port is on the back side of the laptop opposite of where you plug the AC adapter in). Then make sure it has internet access and run the speedtests again.
 
Bluepoint buttplug? No, I ruined 2 sets sets of dust seals trying to rebuild my calipers. So I spent $18 for an ancient, unused installation tool. IMG_3423.jpeg

Decided to go thrifty and got Raybestos pads and Wagner shoes from Rockauto. $10.xx for one and $14.xx for the other.

I bought the WiFi gizmo Kevin sent me a link to for my laptop but can’t seem to find my password for the Google Home WiFi extender set up I put in 5+ yrs ago, think I’ll dig around some more now that I’m thinking about it

No, I'm correct with Trijicon. I used to use/service them.

Learn something new every day. Romans 13:12 is referenced on the bottom of the scope. However, the scopes that go to any military do not have the references - they stopped that in 2010, after a couple of people complained.
