Help the D-Link DI-524 Router works [proper ip address] [d link di 524]
Q: I have a D-Link 524 wireless router. I went through all the setup screens fine. However, when restarting the computer, my computer will not communicate with the router (it can not ping). The router will not my computer a good IP address and I can not on the website of the router setup to reconfigure. I have no idea what was wrong with that, because it went through the initial setup without a problem, and then just started not working.
Re:Not to threadjack, but could someone give me a tip on the following:
I've currently got the DI-604. Everything works fine.
I just ordered a laptop (wireless) and the DI-524.
Currently I have cat cable running to my XboX. Could I just take that cat5, hook it up to the DI-524, then run some cat5 from the DI-524 to the xbox, and have wireless for the laptop?
I don't mind keeping the DI-604 the way it is. Just want to know if I can hook the 524 into the 604 and have it not only hardwired to the main pc, but have it wireless for the laptop?
I suppose I can swap them out, but would rather not since the main pc is in a location that would not be conducive for a good wireless signal.
thanks
