Today I setup a wireless router (A Netgear WPN824) so I could access the internet with the 2 laptops in the house. I've gone through routerlogin.com and set everything up correctly. Laptop one appears to be connected, but no internet pages work. On Laptop 2 the status appears as "Limited or no connectivity" as it is cannot "renew IP address". The internet works briefly when I log on and then goes off again. Security options are set to TKIP as recommended. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Ian6868 gave a good start, but I believe the address is 192.168.1.1 for the router.
Username: Admin
Password: password are correct as Ian6868 said.
Under the DHCP tab in the router page, make sure that DHCP is enabled. Also, make sure that you have connections open. Usually the starting address for DHCP clients is 192.168.1.100 make sure that the ending address is at least 102 (100 for you main PC plugged directly into the router, and 101 and 102 for each of the laptops).
You will also see a clients table. Check to see if the laptops are registering on the router table.
There is one other possibility:
It could be that the Windows wireless configuration tool is interfering with software for the Wifi NIC's on your laptops.
In the Network Connections under control panel of the laptop, click on properties and advance. Uncheck "Let Windows manage this connection" (I think that is the wording).

what message do you get when you try to renew the IP on laptop 2.
instead of going through routerlogon.com try this
open your browser (doesnt matter if it opens to a site or not)
in the address bar type 192.168.0.1 hit enter
that is the standard IP for netgear routers
it should prompt you for a user name and password
user- admin
pass- password
user- admin
pass- admin
one of those is the default user and pass
once your in try to set everything up this way. maybe for whatever reason your settings didnt apply right the other way.

Maybe your laptops wireless cards dont support the wpa-psk tkip and aes standard. Try using wep instead; i know its lousy to downgrade to a weaker encryption system, but if this is the case then theres no option unless theres a revision or your cards drivers (then youll be able to use wpa 1 or 2).
Also want to give a shout out to wyntre_2000, thats a good answer (same one i was gonna give but u beat me to it about 53 seconds ago lol), all I could give is this last option to consider. Good job guys.

try hooking up the laptops directly to the router with ethernet cables. if you can get on the internet, then it is your wireless cards, if not then it is prolly your router.
