Notebooks won't connect after change to cable?
« on: April 04, 2011, 05:14:56 PM »

Laptop, Desktop with USB stick, and 2 notebooks all were working fine on wireless prior to switching from phone line, to high speed cable connection at router. Have tried reset, unplug power, reinstalled router and everything else I could think of but none of them will connect. Shows a good strong signal from router but will not connect. Re-entered numbers, password etc as well in all other computers. Anyone have any idea what else to try other than a new router?  Could it be coincidence that router decided to quit, around same time as changeover? Cable connections good and main computer connected via cable works ok, just all wireless not working.

            Thanks for any help.

P.S. can't log in to d-link either. wrong password,?  Type in admin, but won't log on without password and I tried but won't accept . Hitting reset and then retry didn't work  either?

If you reset the router to factory defaults, just type in Admin and don't use a PW and select the Submit button. IT should log in.

This is why Im a believer in leaving the router password as default. Heh. You would be surprised how often this happens.

Eh maybe, I still think PW should be set. Just got to remember what it is.  ;D
