Router Problem : Medialink MWN-WAPR 150N Router, Setup Fails

[somelife]

Hi, all

Here, I am having a trouble in setting up the new router, Medialink MWN-WAPR 150N with my laptop. I followed what the manual asked to do step by step, but at the end, a laptop detected strong signal for both wired and wireless, but it does not allow to connect to internet from both my laptop and smart phone. Please help me out to solve this problem.

Here is info for IPconfig/all.

Hello,

I work for Medialink. It sounds to me like your router is not acquiring an IP address from your modem. This could be because of an IP conflict between the modem and router, a MAC Clone issue where the modem is looking for the MAC of your computer, or because you may have a PPPoE type setup instead of Dynamic or vice versa.

Do you have DSL or Cable? When you log into the router via 192.168.2.1 and go to the System Status page, what do you get for a WAN IP address if anything? Does the connection status say "Connecting", "Connected", or "Disconnect"?

Thanks,
Medialink Customer Support

Thanks for a reply. I have a cable, and system status is saying that wan ip is 0.0.0.0 and connection status is connecting. As you said, it seems like router is not properly receiving information from cable modem. Can you let me know how to solve this?

Sure, let's try a MAC Clone:

Login to the router
Click Advanced Settings > MAC Address Clone > Click the Clone MAC Address button > Apply > OK to reboot

After the router reboots, you should be online. If not, try connecting the computer straight to the modem and make sure that you can get online. I assume that is how you have it now in order to post these comments, but the alternative could be an older router that you are replacing. In which case, you would have to contact your ISP to reset your signal.
