I just bought a D-Link wireless router and I cant get it working properly
with my internet connection. At first it was working fine it was hooked up
to my cable modem and a line was going to my ethernet card on my pc. But
then after I ran the wizard for the router (an adress i had to type in IE)
I set it up following the oncscreen instructions and after that lost
internet connection completely. Ran ipconfig and it said media disconnected
and didnt show my ip address even though the cable modem light were all on
and working like normal. So I disconnected my cable modem from the router
and plugged it back into the computer like before and for some reason I
still wasn't getting an internet connection. The Router must have done
something to my IP address or something. So I had to call my ISP and they
said to go into services.msc and dns and dhp option stop and restart it.
After this it started having a working connection but not with the router
only with the cable modem to pc like before.
I have no idea why the router messed it up everytime i connect it to the
cable modem. Like I said it only started happening after I ran the wizard
it told me to in the manual of the router. It was working fine hooked up
the router before this. In the wizard it asked me some basic stuff like my
ip adress whether its static (which it is) and my dns servers etc. I should
have just left it without going into this wizard thing. I even pressed the
reset button afterwards on the router to restore factory settings but that
didnt help either.
How can I get a connection with the wireless router?

router again.

Connect the computer using a ethernet cable to the D-Link wireless router.
Do not have modem hucked up for a time being. Change the link speed of the
LAN card to 10 mbps half duplex. Now'll get an IP on the computer from
D-Link. Now connect the modem to the WAN port of the D-Link. Power cycle
modem and the router once. Thats it, ur wired connection will be online and
u can try ur default wireless connection as well. Else logon to D-Link page
and configure wireless.
Note: Before doing this, hard reset the D-link for 60 seconds.
Caution: Do not configure wireless settings on D-link page using the
wireless computer. Always do it thru a wired computer.
