hey, past few days iv bin havin probs with my wifi connectn.. the modem connection to my desktop works fine.. i called the isp guy to fix it.. he did some s*** to my roomates laptop and the wifi works on it.. but any other device trying to connect to the wifi connection doesnt seem to get the net. As in like if i try to connect to the wifi connection from my phone it shows that iv been connected to it but i cannot open anything.. no internet browser page, no fb, no whatsapp, no play store.. Nothing.. what could be the problem.. it was working fine a week back.. dont no wat could have changed? and there is no problem with my phone.. cause i tested it to another wifi connection aswell..


I am a noob at this and have absolutely no idea how to figure this out.. help would be really appreciated..

Welcome!
What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on routers web page under status.
What region are you located?

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.
To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged.
If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.

Some things to try:
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking.

Wireless Installation Considerations
What wireless modes are you using? Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual channel to a open or unused channel.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto.
What wireless devices do you have connected?
Any cordless house phones?
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Use InSSIDer to find out.

Turn off WISH, and WPS under Advanced.
Turn off Short GI, WLAN Partition,and Extra Wireless Protection if you have it. Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.

Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
Turn off all devices accept for one wired PC while testing.

Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Cat6 is recommended.

Maybe someone can review your router settings with you using teamviewer if your interested. Its safe and secure.

hi,

Well the H/W ver is C2 and the F/W ver is 3.03.. am from India..
wats the diff between DSL & Cable??

well my modem is connected to my comp.. and the router to the modem.. so m guessing its Stand Alone.
the Modem is a Sterlite SAM300 AX.. and i cant get into the Router web page.. the default username & password arent working for me to access it. anyway i could reset the username or password..

i dont no if this info will help u solve my problem though..

I would do a factory reset of the router and see if you can access the routers web page at 192.168.0.1.
