How would you see your thread if you connection is down?

Hmmn. This happened to my Mac Mini and puzzled me when the connection dropped because I was Ethernet connected to my router. After switching to Wi-Fi connection, it resolved. I try to connect what I can by Ethernet cable because it’s faster than Wi-Fi, particularly when moving many many GBs of data.
