rob86 2 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 I'm trying out wireless internet, and I'm having some problems with it. I don't know _anything_ about broadband, or routers, or anything. My experience is only with dial-up internet which seems to be completely different. I have some kind of a D-link router and the computer with it runs Windows 7. Other than that, I don't know much. It was working decent after the guy set it up, I actually installed my game (the one I complained about in another thread) and watched a youtube video, now it's not working, and that's about all I know. I don't know if I'm supposed to connect or what, really. Maybe it just sucks as much as I feared it would. Wireless internet is a strange beast to me. Does anyone know how to get back on or even understand the router? I don't know what all the lights on it mean, but I never really looked too much, but it'd be nice to know if it's 'supposed' to be working or getting a signal or whatever.. I don't know how it works!

rob86 2 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 I figured it out myself. Windows 7 actually troubleshooted it for me, can you believe it? It told me to unplug the router and plug it back in, I thought, what a stupid idea, why would that help? Well what do you know, it worked, weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kobra500 1 Report post Posted January 20, 2010 Well that weird, I don't think I can think of a time when Windows Troubleshoot actually fixed the problem, though actually the connections issue resolver on vista is actually quite impressive how it actualy gets to the bottom of issues.
