 Oh you know what.... The machine the node is running on has onboard wifi from a board that prob came out around 2010... And I just realized, I may have forgotten to plug in the ethernet. This machine is ancient, its running DDR3. Last hardware update was probably 2015.  
 Ah, yep, that machine is a bit "long in the tooth" as they say. 
 I originally built that machine in 2004. It had a floppy disk drive. I've still got that drive in a box somewhere 🤷🏻‍♂️ probably... by 2015 the only original part was the case. I figure it's survived so long, would be a shame to let it go to waste.  
 Ah, yes. It seems you have got some great work out of that box. Well, yes, as the internet gets back to full power, you might be alright.  
 Fingers crossed! 
 Also, thank you for the zap! That was very kind of you.
