I had a lapse in paying my comcast bill and my service was placed on an interupt (not completly disconnected) I am running 2 windows XP HP boxes on Comcast Cable with a Motorola Surfboard Cable modem SB5120 with a Netgear WGT624v3 Wireless router, was working perfect prior to the interupt, I paid my bill and got my service reinstated now, I can connect to the internet Wired direct, but as soon as I go to plug in the Wireless my Local Are Connection picks up a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address even tho the wireless says conneted with excellent signal strength, no pages will load I have read several fixes none have worked
I have trying using my computer mac address
I tried setting a static IP on my router
I tried netsh winsocks
I factory reset the router
Uninstalled and reinstalled the router
Comcast came out gave me a new splitter and a new modem and said the standard sorry we don’t troubleshoot your network you can connect straight thru just fine, even though nothing was changed while my service was out on my end.
Any advice would be great. Really tired of getting nowhere ohh and netgear says sorry you are out of warranty we won’t troubleshoot if you equipment is over 1 year old.
