Help connecting to Internet - The Postgame Pub

**nyG** · 07-08-2008, 02:12 AM

posting this from my iPhone so I'm sorry for spelling errors. I was having some issues with my router (d-link wbr-2310) and I took someones advice to upgrade the firmware of it. When I tried updating something happened and the update nver finished. When I tried to connect to the Internet afterwards, i can find the ppossible wireless networks in my area (and mine), but I can't connect to it. When trying to repair the connection it simply says "cannot connect to wireless network". I dont know what to do so this phone being the only source of Internet in my house, I figured to give it a shot if anyone here knows how to help or any master googlers out there maybe find a solution. If you can please help before I buy a new router because I tried for hours to fix it and no dice. On another note does Pgp have a wap site because this takes forever to load?

Can you connect through a wired connection?

You can't connect to any wireless network?

The PGP does have a mobile layout. Go down to the very bottom of the page, and look at the left corner. Use the dropdown menu to access the Mobile layout.

An Ethernet cord from the router to my pc doesn't connect either. The other wireless networks in my area are locked. Mobile layout=awesome

Did you try power cycling the router?

Power down the host computer, unplug all of the wired connections to the router, and finally unplug the power cable from the router. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then hook everything back up. Power up the computer.

I thought PGP tells us when you post from a mobile device. How come it's not doing that with his posts?

You can delete that from the reply box just prior to posting.

wasn't aware of that feature.. Maybe the iPhone ignores it? I dunno I tried a whole reboot and I'm still sol

You tried the power cycle?

**nyG** · 07-08-2008, 09:26 PM

Did a complete reset of the router (including configurations). Had to reinstall a lot of shit but at least I'm up and running again.

my honest advice to avoid this in the future is to get a Net Gear router...its like the "router for dummies" (no pun intended)....the most work you will have to do to it is reset it by power cycling....
