Then, I went to the 'Connect to network' and connect my laptop to the wireless router displayed in the list. And it said I'm successfully connected to the internet. Finally, i unplugged the LAN cable from my laptop, and, tada, I'm connected to the internet wirelessly.. However, once I disconnect my laptop from the internet, I have to plug and unplug the LAN cable to connect to the internet using the wireless router again which is annoying..

Annon , Apr 19, Your isp may be restricting it since you nb has a different MAC address. What you did was bypass the auto connection info. Try cloaning and see if a std DHCP will work. With only 1 pc this never comes into play. You must log in or sign up to reply here.

I just kept complaining, complaining, etc So your secret is to be old, cranky, and stay with a company for 47 years.
I got the old and cranky parts down, but I can't even stay with the same woman for more than five years much less a vendor.

Hey y'all, I got a Vista Ultimate laptop here that won't connect to the internet. Also, tried disabling IPv6 and still no luck. Hi InDiSent, can you get a connection via ethernet, Mike. Yeah Mike, Ethernet works fine You have done the obvious, unplug the power for 30 seconds? Yeah guys Sorry, what is the model number?
And the netgear model? Before you start anything read the whole post to the end, then follow your instinct. If for some reason the computer cannot connect to the Router, it cannot obtain an IP and Windows assign a default IP First look at the System Screen and configure the Computer with the same Network name as yours. Then make sure that its Firewall, and or, other security software have the exceptions to match your Network IP scheme Aka as Trusted Zone.
Type Cmd in the Start Search text box. Allow elevation. Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt , and then press the Enter key. Restart the computer. Since you are dealing with Wireless, log to your Router and temporarily disable the Wireless security. Most Laptops have a physical switch for the Wireless card. Read the computer's manual and make sure that the Wireless card is On.
If everything above is OK and it is not connecting to the Wireless router. Log from any computer that is, or can be connected to Wireless Router with a Wire, disable the Wireless Security, make sure that the Wireless broadcast is On, and try to connect with No Wireless security.
Alternative way is to copy it from the Router's menu, and then paste when asked by the Wireless card. Software Firewall application that is Not configured to allow local traffic between the computer and the Router is a possible issue too. You will need to download up to date drivers from the manufacturer.
Once the download has completed just run the EXE file which will automatically install the driver and then you will be prompted to restart your computer. If you are not using an HP computer, you can use the Windows driver update to update to the latest Atheros driver. From the device manager, right click on your WiFi adapter and click "Update driver software". You can apply the driver update instructions to almost any device in your device manager.
If you ever found a component that was not working with a new device or was simply not functioning correctly, try updating the driver first. Good day. They upgraded to a new router last week when I was out of town.
Connects to the internet but local only. Got updated drivers on another laptop and installed. The computer said I already had the latest version and still only local access. Tried resetting router no good. Any ideas? Is it possible my old laptop just isn't compatible with Arris router? Download and update your network adapter with this latest driver: [1] Click "Click to Download".
