Tried my old Be ISP supplied Netgear router and same deal...
Sometimes I can connect when I renew the DCHP lease and I get an 82... address and am connected and able to surf away but this only happens when the router has been reset and all settings are vanilla. As soon as I get the VM config page and I rename the network and security details and save them I am back to self-assinged IP and renewing DCHP makes no difference.
Bit flumoxed TBH.
P.S.
I have spoken to a polite but useless individual on 150 who said he could see that I had connectivity and that there is no reason I should be experiencing problems. Oh, the problem is I am using a Mac ... 
P.P.S. Will be happy to supply any additional info to aid troubleshooting. Cheers, Mike. |
Reading the paragraph I highlighted in red reminds me of the bery rare occasions when I lose wireless connectivity to the internet.
I use the Windows diagnose & repair function on the wireless card and it works thereafter; no doubt the MAC has a similar function or youy could wheel in a PC for diagnostic purposes I realise you have a slightly more complex issue, but logically we need to find a common cause and the PC seems to be the common link.
