My wireless went down so I went through the usual diagnostic test and without giving it much attention, I just said yes to all the recommended changes. I had removed my firewall and anti-virus for a couple of days, allowing the computer to run only with the microsoft defender. Well, it was only after I hit yes that I realized that the recommended option was something like, Connect to the Tehtubz. I thought to myself, did you really do that? WTF? But, the laptop did get on the internet right away.

I tried to google "tehtubz" but didn't come up with anything that jumped out at me.

Anyone have any experience with this?
