Strong wireless signal but no internet connection

by iamjcstuart . Updated 13 years, 5 months ago

Old house, thick walls. Main wireless (network 1) working well but poor house coverage. Network 1 is using a brand new netgear dgn1000sp and WPA-PSK. I’m also using a TP-Link powerline ethernet adapter and an old netgear wireless router (DG834G v4) to set up a second wireless network (network 2) in furthest reaches of the house. Laptop and ipad (v1) connect fine to first network, but neither will connect to the internet on the second network. Both say that the signal is excellent and that they are connected to network 2, but neither are showing any internet access on network 2. I have set the security of network 2 to be WPA-PSK as well, but using a different username and password from network 1. What do I try now?
