I am at a loss. I recently unplugged my wireless router just to refresh everything. Now I can't get online. Everything on the router is lit up and working correctly and my 2 wireless settings are even showing up on both of my computers. Their is just no internet connectivity coming from the wireless. I've already called time warner and they have verified it isn't their modem since I can connect using an ethernet cable straight from the modem into a comp. Any ideas?? I really need help here....
It might be possible that port which your modem is connected not working properly. Did you tried another port for connection? Also it is better to reinstall the complete network driver to your computer. Just uninstall the older one and download and install the new software from the manufacture site and see whether this is working for you or not.
To the original poster: Were you able to resolve this? I have the exact same problem.
Have you tried to enable WPA-PSK on the router and check if you are able to connect to the wireless network on the XP computer.Quote:
