How do I connect a laptop to a network after a router upgrade?

Posted: January 6th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | 2 Comments »

So I went ahead with my original plan. I did a router upgrade.
My Win 7 laptop – perfect connection, maybe better than before!
My XP desktop PC, good connection, could be better.
My sister’s Vista – only google works. Full signal. Under attached devices, her laptop is there. I have restarted the laptop twice, and pulled out and inserted the power lead to the router multiple times. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Check the IP settings on sissy’s computer against the working computers. Pay close attention to the DNS servers listed. It sounds like a DNS problem. Maybe her system has the DNS servers manually set and they are no longer valid for the new router.

    i had the same issue when i upgraded my router. idk what it is but i just deleted that connection (from the computer that isnt working right) then i just set up a new connection to the same router using setting from the old connection. the same thing happens to me when i change anything on my router password, name, block sites, and so on.
