You are a junior IT technician working on a network issue that has caused intermittent internet outages across your company. After several hours of troubleshooting, you've ruled out simple fixes and suspect the problem might be related to the company's core router configuration $($a task that is beyond your current expertise$).$

Additionally, the issue has started to significantly impact the company's operations. Your senior technician is available, and there's also a third$-$party network solutions provider that offers $24/7$ support.

Considering your options, what should be your next step?

answer

Inform your manager that the network will likely be down for several days as you learn more about core router configurations.

Escalate the problem to the senior technician, providing them with all the information you've gathered.

Suggest to the company to switch to a different internet service provider, assuming the issue might be on their end.

Continue to work on the problem alone, using online forums and documentation as guides.
