And you did a reboot on the PC or did a ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig/renew after connecting to the 835?

Do you have any other adapter icons under Network settings on the PC?
If your using DHCP on the PC then it should be getting an IP address from the 835.
And you swapping cabling to be sure?

[mudthirsty]

Yes, lemme try that now.  Going to re-boot, flush dns and ip renew with the 835 hooked up.  I even have a brand new cable that I will use, just to be sure.  Shutting down, back shortly.

I have some time to review your PC settings and router settings if you can get it connected. Even if you can't get the 835 connected, I could review your PC settings. Ensure the LAN cable plug is fully seated and you hear the click when you push it in to the port plug.

[mudthirsty]

It's definitely plugged in tight, with a click!  My computer keeps saying my network cable is unplugged, while it is plugged into the 835.  The other cable from the modem is also plugged into the Internet port on the 835, and I still have a flashing yellow globe.  I cannot access the 835's login page via a cable on both PCs.

[mudthirsty]

Here's a question.  If I had logged into the 835 previously via one computer, will the 835 ONLY allow that one computer to login again, blocking out other computers?  If so, does a factory reset clear this?  I'm thinking a factory reset next, and I'll try to wire my current PC to it, and see if that allows me to login.

[FurryNutz]

No any pc should gain access.

So if you disconnect the isp modem from the 835 can u get an IP?
You say the Isp modemis connected to the ethernet port...this one of the lan ports or the WAN port?

[mudthirsty]

Yes, I get internet if I remove the 835, and plug directly into the modem.  Which I keep doing to come back onto here.  lol

The ISP modem is normally plugged into the Internet port (yellow) on the back on the 835.  Then there are four blue LAN ports (1-4) and a USB port, which is unused.  That is all.

[FurryNutz]

And u say you can get internet and router access if you connect wirelessly? If you can. I think a review of te pc and router is in order.

[mudthirsty]

Ok, yes, I can access the 835 wirelessly on my laptop.  So let me switch over to my laptop, and you can take a look at the router.

[mudthirsty]

Slight problem.  When I connect wirelessly to the router, I have to drop my wired connection to the modem. 

[FurryNutz]

Connect your wired PC to the isp modem and let me review it first.

[mudthirsty]

Ok, done, and ready!

Is this the same model modem as you stated before? http://www.tp-link.com/Resources/document/TD-8840T_V4_User_Guide.pdf

Just looking for the DMZ option, need to verify it's the same or different.

[mudthirsty]

Getting all zeros for IP, and no connection to the 835.  Yellow globe is still flashing, even after a reboot of everything.  Thanks for your help.  I'm going to have to revert back to just the modem for the night.  Need to finish up some work!
