Tjj226_Angel Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Hey guys, I am at some ones house right now to help fix his internet. He got a Asus DSL-N10 a few days ago, and we are trying to set it up. I can connect to the inter via the wired connection, but wireless shows up as connected with NO internet access. We already went through the utility disk trying to download everything right. This is seriously screwy. I would think it was a DOA wireless device, but then why would it say connected and give me a no internet access message? Any help is greatly appreciated.

vandreadstriker Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Try other devices to connect with? In my experience, it could be a DNS issue on the router. Try tampering with it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 What IP is the router handing out over wireless? $5 says it's a DHCP or DNS issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjj226_Angel Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 What IP is the router handing out over wireless? $5 says it's a DHCP or DNS issue. I already know it is a DNS issue through windows diagnostics, how do I fix it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 It's most likely something with the settings on the router...I'd look to make sure it's set to allow Internet access over wireless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandreadstriker Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Trying turning the wireless off then on again. There's a wireless on/off button on the back right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 What kind of message are you been given? Or is it just allowing connection (no errors) but no internet access? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Active DHCP and let the whole thing set up by themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjj226_Angel Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 What kind of message are you been given? Or is it just allowing connection (no errors) but no internet access? Pretty much. It just says that the laptop is connected, but at the same time it says no internet access. I already did the whole 9 yards of turning off and on the router, checking the settings to allow all users, setting the router back to default settings and re-ran the setup, and pretty much every normal step you would take to fix a simple problem. I did some searching on the web and have found that other people were having issues with the same router. Could it just be a messed up router that he needs to RMA?

Savan Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 possibly. if you feel like getting adventurous, you may be able to flash a new firmware to the router and hope that fixes it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erosannin Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 tj you can try to add yourself the main DNS server and the alternate also. you can use OpenDNS which woks wonderfully at home as my normal DNS sucked pretty bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkakmanH Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 It really sounds like the Wireless Network Security is enabled and that your laptop key does not match the router key. Have you logged on to the router and set up the wireless security? Most routers have an IP base address of 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.1 Once you are into the router bios then you can establish your wireless protocols. Then set up your laptop to match.
