Hello,
I have a netgear wireless router WPN824V2 and am trying to connect an asus laptop to the internet. The computer I have is Compaq presario. I have a speedstream modem and it's dsl. Everything is connected and all the lights on the router are green. Can connect to internet from main computer but not laptop. Comouter is xp and laptop is vista. I can get some of the network up but no connection. I think this is because i cannot get into router settings page i have tried so many things and it's making me crazy :) it won't let me loginto page i have treid username:admin and password:password (also 1234 which i found from another page) nothing works. I have also reset the router using the little hole in the back(using pen) like 6 times and still nothing. When ion laptop it asks for security keyy/pass phrase but i don't know how to obtain it!! we have had both connected to router before but stopped using it for about a year because i didn't realise i had to change modem settings to fullbridge. the computer IP is 192.168.1.2, subnet 255.255.255.0.0, defult gateway 192.168.1.1 when running command prompt on laptop all i get is media state disconnected DNS suffix: (IS BLANK)IPv6::899C:abc8:55af:ebci%10, IPv4 169.254.235.195, subnet 255.255.0.0 defult gateway: ( IS BLANK). The laptop has an inbuilt adapter. I get a picture of the laptop then a line with an ! through it to a grey picture of computer with identifying underneath then another line with a red cross through it and picture of a grey world globe. I am not very computer savvy. For me it seems as if i can access network but not internet and cannot get into router login no matter how much i try!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope i have provided enough info!! thanks in advance :) :)
