# yet another because I'm dumb and subborn

Parts showed up Friday so I reset the router I borrowed, and dropped it off.

Picked up the parts, and got home and they did not work because they are
"802.3af" type PoE and not "passive 24v" PoE.

welp.

shit.

looked closer at the PoE stuff in my own router to see if I could rig something up.

It appears the PoE port wasn't to allow the router to power other devices, it was
a port to power the router over PoE.

welp.

shit 2.

To get my router to do PoE I'll have to find an expansion card that fits it.
I'm not that interested in that right now.

I looked on amazon for the exact part I needed and it said it'd ship in a couple days.

Sent it to my mom so she could use her Amazon Prime to order it or whatever.

Then got informed that the part would actually be showing up a couple days after it
originally said it'd ship.

welp.

shit 3.

It is now Tuesday at 1am and the part /should/ be showing up at the post office in
7 hours. Hopefully. Then I can go pick it up and plug it in here.

[update at Tue 4:40pm]

The part works, but the previous one was 1 amp and the current one is 0.75 amps.
So, it might burn out. Hopefully it lasts at least long enough to get the new ISP
hooked in to my network.
