From your description I think I can explain what happened. Your modem or router is connected to the incoming service to the house. It serves both hardwired devices and wireless devices. Your desktop most likely is hardwired to the modem/router this is typically how it works since a lot of times desktops dont have wireless cards in them. Your other devices ( Roku laptops etc.) are only connected through the wireless signal to the modem/router. The problem was that the modem/router was not sending a wireless signal but its hardwired signal was working fine. This is how your desktop worked when nothing else did. When you unplugged the router to reset it your desktop had already downloaded enough of the program you were watching to continue to play while the router was unplugged. Had you left the router unplugged your desktop would have stopped working as soon as it reached the end of what it had already downloaded. You did the right thing by unplugging and letting the router reset. From what you described I sounds like the incoming service to the house is fine but your router may be going bad. If this issue keeps happening you will probably need to replace the router. Ive seen this many time in my 25 years of telecommunications work.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
