I remember back in college I moved into an office campus apartment with a few people. They had moved in before me since they lived closer. Two weeks later when I moved in I asked "what's the WiFi password?" and she said "we don't have WiFi... We just plug directly into the modem." There were four people in the apartment ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
This was also the same girl that accused me of breaking her laptop by connecting it to our WiFi later on because it wouldn't connect to WiFi at her mom's house anymore.
Did they mean a combo router/modem without wifi (either because it wasn't set up or because it didn't have the hardware) or a modem with a single port that each person took a turn with when they needed internet?
Both! It was the AIO deal provided by the ISP but they never set anything up so whenever they needed internet they just plugged their laptop into the WAN port.
