Computer wont reconogize router

For most Edimax routers, the default IP address is 192.168.2.1, default username is admin and password is 1234.
By default the router is a DHCP server which will assign IP address starting from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199 to DHCP clients automatically.
Make sure your computer has TCP/IP Protocol setup as "Obtain IP address automatically".
Open the Internet Explorer.
Type in http://192.168.2.1 hit Enter.
The Login window will appear.
Type in the default username admin, password 1234.
Click on Login.
Then you can configure the router.

Ok the following instructions will help you reset the ip address of your printer however you must use the origina driver cd to do this. Follow the instructions below if you have no print server involved with this network. If you do use a print server let me know ok?

2. Ping the printer and verify that it responds. For example, at a command prompt on a network computer, type ping followed by the new printer IP address (for example, 192.168.0.11):
   
   

ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
If the printer is active on the network, you will receive a reply.

usually routers are setup using DHCP... on your second computer. try going to 
start, control panel,  networkconnection,  "your LAN connection",\ properties Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (should be checked)
Obtained Ip address automatically should be selected
Obttained Dns server automatically should be selected.
then click OK, OK to save settings...

if your router is not setup as a DHCP,it would require you to setup your ip address manually... let me know if this dont work, so  i can help u setup manually...

if it helps, try comparing the settings of your pc1 and pc2 (the network connection settings)

Sorry mate but you have kinda lost me here, if you need a static IP address for the internet you need to contact you isp and they will provide you one, if you want to set your machine to set IP Address just go into properties for local network connection and use somthing like 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 and leave the dns to obtain. but you wont be able to set a internet static ip address by doing this, only way is to contact your isp.. All the best John
