The funny thing is that after a recent remodel the router got moved and we don’t know where it is. It still works but nobody knows the exact location. It may be in the ceiling or the floor.

That reminds me about the story of a University that an old DEC VAX that got walled up during a remodel. Machine kept running and no one notice. A decade later another remodel came along and they tore down the wall to find the machine just happily running.

I remember an old Netware version of that story.

You know, maybe it was Netware. My memory has some bitrot in it after all these years.
After about a year the network through that router started to slow down. When we checked why we realized that we had more than 40 wifi clients, as other (non-dev) teams learned about the network through the grapevine and actually the new employees from sales (the neighboring office) were told to connect to that network directly - as the process to connect to the "normal" network was too much of a hassle.
