My wireless and DSL is connected right, and my wireless connection is "Excellent", so why can't I surf the net

Question

Wireless: Linksys

And I just got a new modem yesterday, so it's not that problem.

Answer 1

There's a good change that your DSL modem and your Linksys router are set to the same I.P. Address.

Go into the Linksys router configuration and change the I.P. address for the router to something like 172.22.74.01

You may wish to contact Linksys and have them talk you through this, although the manual should suffice.

Answer 2

There are two solutions:
1. check that there are no loose wires and connections and that the modem is ON.
2. Get an ethernet cable and connect one end into ur laptop and the other into one of the wired connection slots in the back of the router.
then change the wireless channel and create a security WAP password if not already done so.. Restart the router.
3. If the above does not work go through the installation process again or take it back to the shop.

Answer 3

Along with your normal Windows Firewall you have a firewall that comes with the Lynksys router you have. You're going to have to disable one of them in order to have your connection restored.

Answer 4

go into the modems config and see if u have an ip assigned to it ... then go into the routers config ... make sure everything jives ... im guessing the modem isnt configured correctly ...

Answer 5

possibly you will have to start wireless zero configuration. if you click on start > run and then type in services.msc. then about 5th from botton should be wirelesss zero configuration then click start which is to the left.

Answer 6

make sure the proxy and port settings are right, and also make sure you IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS is typed correctly.
