The one that I’ve heard from friends that live there is Samara. Lots of smash-n-grabs out of cars, break ins, etc.

I actually leave for CR in about 16 hours. Lived there for 10 years when I was 3 till 13. I understand that the country is not the same as when I last lived there. Much more advanced, but also less safe than it once was. Places that I was able to just stroll around as a young white kid are no longer as safe, and you should be careful in your planning to avoid certain areas, or at least keep minimal $ on you and your passport in a safe location.

Keeping with the KISS principle, is there anything at all that runs underneath that specific area in front of that couch that could cause an interruption? Fiber? Coax?

Not the case? Lets start thinking bigger picture. With so many devices in play, where’s critical mass? What devices earliest in the sequence of data/info transmission connects everything together? When you identify that, try moving it. Move it again to a 3rd location. That doesn’t do it? Next along the chain and move that device.from what I’ve seen with " I step on x and y breaks" issues on other boards it’s commonly been because there’s some weird physical issue that defies normal troubleshooting. I think moving stuff is your best bet
