Hi all
Have a bit of a problem connecting to my dlink DIR-615 router. recently got Virgin broadband, and went to set up the router as three of us in the house need to use it from our rooms.
tried setting it up via my pc, didn't get very far as i couldn't the installation program couldn't detect the router from my pc :S
tried it on a second pc and no problems at all, set up the router via the install cd and away it goes. daringly tried then to connect via wireless on the same pc i'd just managed to set the router up on and it won't connect. it detects the network and i was entering the network key correctly.
unfortunatly due to an accident i managed to damage the pc so it doesn't work
. grabbed a flat mates pc, after about 40 minutes on the phone to virgin, i had a wireless connection on my flat mates pc. in all honesty i'm not sure how. there was just a lot of refreshing of the network list, deleting of wirless profiles and i exited the netgear wireless program once (after this and a modem/router reboot it decided to connect)
tried that on mine, still nothing. i can detect the network just won't connect. managed once or twice to get a limited or no connectivity connection, but it might as well not be connected.
only difference between the pc's is i'm on vista and he is on xp.
i can get the internet when connected to the modem directly from my pc no problem. and i've connected to other wireless networks.
does anyone have any kind of idea as to what the problem might be? that or if i just buy a new router to see if it will work.
any help be would be much appriciated
