Hey everyone, I have ran into a stubborn little problem regarding connecting to my wireless and I've been unable to resolve it so I come here seeking guidance.
At around 6pm there was a power outage at my house. I was asleep at the time, and one of my brothers reset the router in what I assume was an attempt to get internet access. When he reset it, the router (Linksys WRT300N) was set to factory default. When I woke up at 8pm, I was notified of the internet problem and proceeded to set it back to our household settings. At 9pm I turned on my desktop and found that I could not connect to the internet. I double checked the SSID and password, but to no avail. I then tried changing the security from WPA2-Personal to WPA-Personal, but that didn't help either. I have tried unplugging both router and modem, which didn't help either. Figuring that the problem was my NIC (D-Link DWA 552), I swapped it out for my older card (D-Link DWL-AG530) which didn't fix it either. During this entire time, I have been able to connect to the wireless through my Macbook Pro, so I am sure that the problem does not lie in the router or modem.
Let me know if you require any further information about my desktop or network settings and thanks for any help.
