Anyone have any ideas on this one?
I had a D Link DIR 655 which I wirelessly connected to my desktop. The router is downstairs and the desktop is upstairs. There's never been any issues.
I had Road Runner Lightning installed today and Im averaging an awesome 38 mbps / 5 mbps speed. The provided cable modem is a Motorola Surfboard which includes a built in wireless router. Ive had problems with getting disconnected (about once an hour). I reconnect without issues.
Moving the cable modem upstairs isn't a good option as it would mess up my Slingbox. I figured I could hardwire my DLink DIR 655 router by plugging it into the Motorola Surfboard via ethernet cord. I could then connect to the DLink and via cable to the Motorola Surfboard.
I have a laptop that I can hardwire (connect via ethernet cord) into the DLink DIR 655 and get an internet connection. Laptio -> Dlink Router -> Cable Modem -> Internet.
When I wirelessly connect to the Dlink from upstairs I can NOT connect to the Internet. Ive tried the following:
Powering off/on the modem
Powering off/on the router
Factory reset of the router
Reseting network adapter (the wireless receiver card on my desktop upstairs)
Rebooting computer
Reconnecting to all the above networks
Called technical support and yelled at Habib
I've tried just on dumb luck plugging the cable modem into both the LAN (numbered 1-4) slots, and the "Internet" plug on the back of the Dlink router.
I can wirelessly connect to the Motorola Surfboard and get an internet connection.
I'm connecting to the router so Im not understanding why I can't get the internet connetion. Could it be because the cable modem doubles as a wireless router?
I'm not super tech savy but I know just enough to screw things up.
Thanks!
