wireless problem

by dwa · 12 years ago In reply to same problem

Eton, My laptop wireless is up and running. After I disabled the wpa thing in the router I had forgotten that I assigned IP address etc. which I believe is not good? After I set IP and DNS to be found automatically then restarted, it worked! BTW I let windows sort it out rather than my card's software. Let us know of your progress. Derek

Still no luck

Hi Derek
My wireless connection is still down mainly thanks to the fact I worked a 65 hour week last week.
But I have checked the IP and the DNS and they are set to obtain an address automatically.
I'm not a computer novice so this is bugging me. I think it's a communication error in a browser as my wireless card is connecting to the router with excellent signal strength.
I am going to try and call D-link as soon as I get a spare hour and then call Mozilla to see if they have any clue as to what it could be.
Thanks for your help Derek and if you have any more ideas let me know. In the meantime I will keep you posted if I find out anymore on this 'unique' problem.

I figured it out............. eventually

by eton_rifle · 12 years ago In reply to hey try this

If anybody is still struggling with this problem I figured it out a while back.
What you have to do is type in the address 192.168.0.1 in your web browser when you believe your wireless is installed. This will give you access to your routers configuration you may need to try it two or three times as it does come up page cannot be displayed sometimes. go under admin leave the password blank and hit enter.
Then you have to change the ip address of your router so instead of xxx.xxx.0.1 change it to xxx.xxx.0.2, this should eliminate the problem as what is happening is your other modem has the same ip address as your router so they are conflicting with each other.
Hope this helps cos it had me beat for a while.

Hi Ethon,
Good thing you were able to solve the problem. If you somebody there not able to get online after disabling wpa or wep, you may try to check your wireless mac filter also. If it is enabled, try disabling wireless mac filter and see if you can get online after. For pc with vista os try turning off and on after disabling wireless mac filter.
