Home network down after WiFi Inspector!
« on: July 30, 2018, 02:42:20 AM »
Ran WiFi Inspector tonight after we seemed to be having issues with connecting with Firestick (new, worked for several days just fine).  Now NOTHING in my home network works!  I can't download new mail, system won't locate my wireless printer.   I have never had issues with Avast before but this is serious.  I run an online business and I'm dead in the water until this is solved.

Tried so far: 
1.  rebooting our ATT Router/Modem.
2.  Repairing Avast through Control Panel (running Win 10).
3.  Running WiFi Inspector again to see if issues:  none reported.
4.  Rebooted the computer 3 times so far and also the printer.
5.  Registered here to complain and I hope get help  :(

If you're using Avast IS or Premier, make sure your Firewall is set to Private
