I am glad I am not the only one.... I have 3 computers connected directly to my router and use wifi for my phone. First the tech said he had put the modem into bridge when techs can't actually do it. So I had no internet unless I used their router. I wasn't happy with the preformance if it and had intended all along to use my Dir-655, after calling tech support and getting them to bridge the hitron modem. I found out 2 computer connect absolutely NO isses, the 3rd one would not. (Before I connected in my router I had updated my router's firmware so I knew that wasn't the issue)
I was going to reformat the computer that wouldn't connect anyhow so I did, in case it was an issue in it's software. After I did it still no wired internet connection. I then used a cheap usb wifi adaptor and it connected to the internet. Now I am really confused so, I moved around cables and the same 2 computers would connect no matter what.
I then thought I had missed something in the setup so I reinstalled all of networking for xp and newer drivers for the onboard nic card on. I could always see the router through that computer but IE would not load a webiste...
Today after work I put in an old nic card I had lying around that I found while I was straightening up for the installer. Same friggin driver batch as my onboard nic and it works..... Not sure how or why that fixed it but it did LOL.
