In general my family think I "work with computers" so I'm the go-to for fixing WiFi routers, changing mobile phone settings, updating computers, etc.

I try to tell them this is not a web developer's job, but since I am a bit more technically proficient than them and I can find the solutions via Google they remain unconvinced.
