You'd be surprised how many people do not know how to use google.

Like in my house, I'm the only one who has any sort of google fu, especially for electronics.

Just go to your dad with the reasonable argument of "I know more about tech, give me all the details and passwords, account stuff and let me handle it". You can't expect a busy man with no tech-smarts to be very discerning about the sort of advice he gets. It's up to you to convince him he's not qualified and you can handle it. Be warned, this means you're the one who has to sit on the phone for 5 hours turning the modem on and off and testing stupid shit to convince the ISP there's an actual problem.

I was too lazy to do this when I lived at home, and I suffered horrible, shitty internet for it. Be stronger!

I think this is a good idea. If you offer to sort all of this out for your dad, and do all the legwork involved so he can simply forget about it, it is likely that he would appreciate it in the end. For him, this simply is not a priority (the internet, shaky as it is, might be good enough for what he needs it for).
