T_J_Collier Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hello I am using a Zyxel 660 hw-t1 wifi router In the house there is also a linksey range expander The two computers connected into the router using ethernet cables run perfectly well. One on vista and one on xp However the wireless two computers are unable to connect. The one on vista is unable to renew its ip address. Have also tried it manually using ipconfig/release- ipconfig/renew The one on xp today i just put a new edimax 7728In in it. http://www.edimax.co.uk/en/produce_detail....1&pl2_id=44 I installed the utility provided. It gets 80 percent signal however when i try to connect it says "limited on no connectivity". I tried to renew ip address manually however comes up with "unable to connect to DHCP server" Try to use the windows one however says wireless zero configuration is disabled. Look at the properties of the connection it either says Invalid ip address or private connection 169.254....... Need some help to solve it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeock Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 When i turn off the wireless booster box the latop can connect to the internet however the signal is too weak for the computer to connect What is the wireless booster box. In my experience, turning on the wireless i can roam my whole house without losing connection. Could the router perhaps be in a location where electrical interference is coming into play?
