Hi!

At the moment I'm not travelling, I'm still on my stable home Internet connection (Comcast, 2.4ghz).

I'll try these suggestions in a bit and post an update. I've been messing with both laptops for a few days now and need a break before I lose my mind. :')

I haven't been able to find an Ethernet cord to hotwire into the router (it wouldn't make sense to have to do this anyways if I'm travelling and it isn't working, but I'd like to see if it would give us more information on the problem {if it worked/did not work}).
