so i have a slight problem with the internet, and i'm a complete noob when it comes to internet and gateway and firewall and all that so please excuse my stupidity on this subject.
i have a adsl modem tp link td 8840, and i had this up and running well for about 3 days. then we decided to get a router cause my little sis got a ipad2.
the router is dlink dir 61.
so basically i followed all the instructions and the internet was working fine. then for some reason ign site stopped working, i thought that it was down for some reason and didn't think much of it and today when i tryed to go into hotmail or facebook it doesn't work either.
so i can get into the log in pages of both, but when i put in the id and password, the screen goes blank and just says waiting for .... on the bottom (using google chrome).
and it never loads.
i tryed with other internet browsers and it din't work so i took out the router and re wired the adsl modem only and voila. all the sites started working again.
i want to use my router but i don't know why i can't acess some sites when i have it connected. is it to do with its settings or some sort of clash? i know i ranted a bit but i am really confused, first time using a separate router and modem.
many help will be greatly appreciated and if nothing works i'll just have to call my isp on Monday and see if they know the problem.
