Hello,
I have a problem with my router (TP-Link, model: TL-WR841ND)
So I am a student who lives in a dormitory - we get the internet from the university and I guess this is the reason why I need to use a static ip;
Anyway, I have given some information I received by mail; I got the following information:
IP: 10.xxx.xx.29
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.xxx.xx.254
DNS1: 10.xxx.xx.53
DNS2: 129.xxx.x.1
Now I first just connected my computer directly with a cable to the internet socket and followed the explanation in the link and it worked easily; But now I realized I have a spare router and so I decided to use a router to connect to the internet and then use the wifi from the router;
So I tried exactly to reproduce the result;
I first reset the router - afterwards I chose "network->WAN" and then selected static IP and entered the data that was given to me;
Afterwards I chose a name for the wifi and a password and I thought everything is going to work now;
However, I do not get any internet - it simply is not working; I then searched the settings of the router and chose "security" and disabled all kinds of stuff I thought could interphere with it (firewall, vpn, alg) but it doesn't work;
However, when I plug the lan cable in my computer it immediately works super smooth - this makes me extremely frustrated;
Anyone an idea?
