Hey guys, I am having trouble with my home network again. My dad started to complain that his wireless has been disconnecting and reconnecting frequently. I assumed it was his old computer so I waited for him to get his new one. Now with the new laptop the router (Dlink dl-524) is still disconnecting and now it has been doing it to the wired side also. I thought the router was just going bad, since it has served a little over three years of constant use, so I ordered a Linksys WRT54G on the recommendation of a friend who has one that has been working well. Is there anyway I can check the Dlink to see if it is going bad?
I tried setting up the Linksys but I cannot connect to the internet, despite copying the dlink setting. Even when I restore to default I can’t connect to the internet or even the modem. I had DHCP enabled and both the router and my computer has a valid ip 192.168.1.XXX. I am just wondering if there is something different I have to do? I will put up some screen shots once I get off work.
Thanks for looking
