Router help
Received me D541 D Link Router on Friday, since then more than not when I click on a link, on any page it goes to page cannot be displayed and I have to refresh the page and try again. Is there anything I can do to stop this happening??

Re: Router help
What signal strength are you getting from the router?

Re: Router help
You've restarted your computer? I know it sounds a dumb one, but I get this on my laptop if I transfer it from one location to another without restarting it. I think it gets confused what IP it has leased from the router.
Start > Run > Command then ipconfig /release then ipconfig / renew then exit might clear it up - this is what works for me instead of a restart. |

Moving from room to room will have no effect, moving from network to network is the problem (especially when both have the same name). |

192.168.1.1 and your user id and password to log in. If that does not do it then pressing the reset button until the router restarts will also fix this (and drop any other settings you may have chosen). |
Re previous thread
I managed to encrypt my router by enabling WEP. I have been advised to use a Cat 5 cable to connect dirctly to my router but I cant see how this is possble.
Connect my laptop to router using ethernet connection, leaves the connction from modem to router out does it not? ---------- Post added at 18:46 ---------- Previous post was at 18:05 ---------- Quote:

Re: Router help
On the back of the router there should be one ethernet (RJ45) socket marked 'WAN' or 'INTERNET' or something similar _ unfortunately I'm not familiar with the model in question. This is where you plug the cable from the modem in. There should also be a number (usually four) of other RJ45 sockets labeled 'LAN' (or similar). These are where you would connect a PC or laptop which doesn't have wireless.Connect one of these ports to your laptop's ethernet socket via an ethernet cable. Turn onn the router, wait a few seconds and then turn onm the laptop. You need to make sure that the laptop's ethernet connection is set to get an IP via DHCP. Pressing the reset button on the router should have set all the setting back to the factory defaults so it should now have an IP address of 192.168.1.1Your laptop should have acquired an IP address of something like 192.168.1.2, so open a web browser and point it at 192.168.1.1 and you should see the built in configuration web page. You will need to log in (usually this is admin with no password - but you'll need to check the manual) and then set up all the settings again from scratch.
