Before implementing any hardware solutions for sharing of Internet connection, contact the customer support center of the ISP and ask if sharing of the internet connection is allowed or not. Most of the ISP's do not allow the sharing of internet connection. The ISP's track the Mac address of all the devices which are connected to the network. Tracking ISP's help the ISP to differ services to computers which are connected. Therefore check if the sharing of connection is allowed or not and then try and connect the devices to the network.

In order to share the same internet connection on different computers, you will have to configure the router properly. To configure the router properly, you will have to login to the router using the default IP address. Login to the router and open the configuration page. Get the appropriate settings required for the router and configure the router accordingly. Once the configuration is complete, save the configuration and reboot the router. After rebooting the router, check if you are able to connect multiple computers to the router.

Are there any security softwares installed on the laptop? Security softwares when installed on the computer, create problems which are similar to the one which you are facing. The security applications block any unknown traffic or application on the computer. This tendency sometimes blocks the traffic or application which is desired by the user. Hence try and disable any security software installed on the computer and see if the laptop is able to connect to the router or not.

Scan the system with an updated antivirus as there is high possibility that the system is infected with an updated antivirus.

Thanks for replying to the post. I configured the router as per the settings provided by you and it really worked. Now I am able to connect both the computers to the router. One computer is connected to the router using a Wireless communication while other is connected to it using Wired connection. Internet access is available on both the computers.
