He/She may just have a job that keeps them away from their home for days at a time.
I have a friend who leaves out 0900 Sunday and does not return home until 1800 Friday or early Saturday.

I had the wifi working once, so I’m pretty sure I have the driver for it, the wireless connections just disappeared all at once
