  • Except he provided it for identify verification, and if I was asked for this my assumption would be they need a mobile number to send a verification text message. If Google wanted a business number in order to publish it online they should state that clearly.

  • This is the kind of good trouble John Lewis would appreciate, so while unrelated I was reminded of his words:

    We are one people with one family. We all live in the same house... and through books, through information, we must find a way to say to people that we must lay down the burden of hate. For hate is too heavy a burden to bear.

  • If he wants you to do this, explain that you will buy a basic $10-20 unmanaged port extender (switch) and then take one plug out of the old router, connect to the new switch, and plug the cable you disconnected to the new one. You can always reverse those steps and reboot things if needed, but I wouldn't expect this causing any problems given how often I've changed ports for things without any need to reboot.

    The key here is making sure it's an unmanaged switch, you don't want a router doing Network Address Translation behind another router or you'll have double NAT (which breaks certain port-dependent services unless ports are forwarded on both routers), but instead a simple switch doing Layer 2. If you have a spare router, many can be reconfigured in the settings to act as a dumb switch as well, but with an 8 port unmanaged Netgear switch selling for $17 that's the easiest way.
