Wireless Router Does not connect

its_mit101 · 12-10-2008, 01:00 AM

I have just bought a D-Link Wireless Router DIR 300 to go WiFi with my Dell 1525 Laptop

The Laptop shows signal strength strong and some times even connects how ever no web pages open.

have tried configuring and re-configuring the Router but nothing works I am sure the router is just fine. Any help??

Some things you can try here.

For wireless connections, change the channel on the router, I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.
For wireless connections, try moving either the wireless router/AP or the wireless computer. Even a couple of feet will sometimes make a big difference.
Update the firmware to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.
Update the network drivers (wired and wireless) on your computer to the latest available.

Many times these measures will resolve a lot of intermittent issues.
