When I plug the router directly to my computer - it works - however it does not work wireless - suggestions

Try rebooting both the modem and the router. It could be that the modem didn't pick up it's ip number when the internet went down. Then try pluggint you computer directly into the modem first to make sure it is setup and working properly. Then plug in the router (to the modem) and the PC plugged in directly to the router and check.

Once you have it connecting at that point then check the wireless settings on both the router and the pc. Then enable the wireless on the pc, unplug the LAN and switch to wireless network on the pc and see if it won't work.

If it works plugged in on the LAN but then not on the wireless then either your configuration isn't correct (ie wrong gateway ip number...gateway should be the same ip number as the router...ie 192.168.***.***) or perhaps the wireless part of the router died. It is possible for the wireless to die and the LAN (hard wired connection) to still work.

If there is several computers that cannot connect wireless to the internet, you have to check out you wireless router. First of all, you should try to unplug the power for about 10 seconds, then plug it back in and check if it is working. If not, you should try to connect a computer directly to the wireless router, if possible, with a network cable. If that is working, then it is something wrong with the wireless settings, perhaps interference. If that is not working, you should try to connect directly to the internet with a cable, use the cable that is connected to your wireless router. Plug it into the computer instead of to the wireless router. If that is working, there is probably something wrong with your wireless router, and you should get a new one or deliver it to repairing. If the direct connection dont work, you probably would need to call your ISP (internet service provider). I hope this would be of any help for you, and dont be afraid to ask if you need more information.

check cat 5e connector maybe one of the wire is broken try to use another cable..

Try unplugging the power from Road Runner modem and disconnect the computer or router. Then only plug in the power to the router and plug in the power to the modem.

If this does not work, try resetting the modem's config to factory defaults by sticking a paperclip end into the reset button hole in the back while powering it up. hold the buttin in for atleast 15 seconds while the router restarts. then retry the first suggestion.

Install the latest wireless card driver in the computer/laptop.
Try turning if off for 15 secs and power it up, are all the LEDs on?
Check the wireless settings on the wireless card in the computer, does it match the wireless router's settings?

it's pretty easy to remedy...
1. turn off all computers including wi fi laptops... turn off routers, modem, wifi router as well.
Here's the trick:
Turn on your main router... the one that is plugged direct to your modem.
turn this on before anything else... once it's booted up, turn on your modem... it will cycle up and find the first ip address which will be your router that was turned on previously...
Then turn on all the other routers, wifi computers.... the main router should give all the other equipment their addresses automatically and you should have wireless working at that point...

Good luck... let me know if it gets you up and running.

suggest plugging print server directly into p.c via blue ethernet cable during setup. Then run setup program and then pick an ip address that works with your router (in same network ip range of router) that does not clash . I would use print server as a switch if it is close to the router by ethernet cable between router and wireless print server. Then both should work
Wireless to server and other wired computers as well .

Make sure DHCP is turned off on the modem or else you will get ip conflicts. Also make sure it is plugged into the wan port on the router

hiya krazy327... sorry to hear about your prob.. we,ve all been here at some point!

Can you let me know if it is one specific computer that the problem is with?

If so .. how are you wired to the router "True" wireless or usb/ethernet gateway from the router?

if you go through the links router manual. it should show you how to reset the router.

Try resetting the router, it always works for me when my internet goes.

This is normal with wireless
