I just bought a new D-Link WBR-2310 wireless router and an Acer laptop. I am trying to set up a wireless network with two computers, the laptop and my desktop machine. I have the D-Link router wired to my desktop computer. During the installation of the software for the router, it stopped and said that it could not recognize the router as a D-Link product and suggested that I might need a firmware upgrade. I also have no internet connection on the desktop in this configuration, but if I go back to plugging my cable modem directly into my Ethernet port it works again.
Something strange was that the wireless connection on my laptop works like a charm and still is working like a charm. Although it states that its a 54Mbps connection and the router is supposed to be 108Mbps.
I called D-Link technical support last night and spent an hour and a half on the phone with them and we werent able to come up with anything. We attempted defining an IP address and DNS, and automatic IP and DNS configuration. Pinging the IP would not work either. We also attempted to disable the Windows XP firewall to no avail. D-Link suggested that I call the manufacturer of my computer and get technical support from them because we determined that there is nothing wrong with the router by plugging it into the Ethernet port on my laptop. Since I bought all the parts for the computer years ago and put it together myself, I cant call anyone for advice.
Has anyone seen a problem like this before? I apologize if there is a post that already deals with this, but I couldnt find one.
