After about 2 years I had to take it to a battery shop and have them swap out the battery and then it was good as new. With just my WIFI router plugged into it, it will provide power for about 3 hours and keep the internet going in most power outage situations. Purchased the best battery back up sold at box stores which is designed for use to power computers. This is my first go to if the cable internet goes down. Installed a WIFI hot spot App on my android phone with data plan. So here are all of the steps I have taken to combat everything related to disconnect: Its still an ample and high quality laptop and I do like it, but the internal WIFI antenna is older. Also my laptop is an older HP which was top of the line when Specter ENVY was introduced, 15 years ago. Here in Panama the electricity will go out more often than the internet will but that will take the router along with it.
