Can Connect to Wireless Access Point, but No Further

by dave.wootton . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

Have four Wireless Access Points, three of which are working fine – the fourth is giving me no end of problems. There must be a simple explanation, but it’s eluding me!

WAP#1 I can connect a laptop/PDA/iPhone successfully and browse the web.

I then take any one of those devices to another building and connect to:

WAP#2 I can connect successfully and browse the web.

I then return to the original building and

WAP#1 I can connect successfully, but can no longer browse the web.

I can return to WAP#2 and browse with no issue, but can never again return to WAP#1 and expect to browse the web with any device that has connected to WAP#2.

Existing devices that are connected wirelessly to WAP#1 continue to perform as expected, as long as they are never connected to WAP#2.

For some reason, on return to WAP#1 the default gateway is no longer pingable.

Any ideas / suggestions on how I can progrees this, as the WAP providers (Belkin) are stumped.
