Routers won't work

Post by Aguiluz »

I recently moved to another house, hence my IP address has changed.

Then when I plug in my routers like I did in my old house, they won't connect to the internet. They worked like glass on my old house.

The black modded Linksys is inaccessible, even the control panel is inaccessible wired or wireless. You can connect to it, but Windows Vista is stuck on "Identifying" the black router. No internet, no local, nothing. Reset it many times, I can see the SSID stays the same.

The piece of crap Netcore 605GR can still be connected to, the control panel accessible, but no internet.

Help?

A fair guess is that your modem is giving you an local IP address on the form 192.168.[0/1].x which would possibly make a clash with your routers.
As for the netcore, try looking for a setting that says something like 192.168.| |.x or subnet id. (Not subnet mask)
As for the linksys, try disconnecting the uplink cable, connecting only one cable to your computer, then power cycling the linksys. Then if you can access the settings, look for the same setting menioned above.
