game_boy Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Folks needing some techo help. Our broadband went down on Friday there and has only just come back on. Only problem is my desktop which uses the Netgear wireless connector is not connecting back to the signal. However my notebook is connecting to the signal so the broadband must be back on. Is there anything I can do to resolve the problem? I've tried disabling it enabling it, repair etc butg nothing is doing. Anyway I can reset it? Many thanks.

wyatt Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Rather than just powering off see if you can connect to the admin page via the laptop that is working, disconnect the broadband line via this and then do a restart (all via the web page). Sometimes when you just do a power cycle it can knock your speed for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vole Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I am sure you have done this but the Netgear router I have has a little pin hole reset button at the back when it plays up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I was going to say the same open the admin page of the router common IP for them is 192.168.1.1, you may need to recheck your settings hope you have MAC address filtering enabled for a wireless set up ! Odd that the notebook can see it and not the other comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
