modem only works wired

BrandonxSword · 04-12-2006, 08:40 PM

I have had my modem for about a year now and no problems. Just recently my modem shows that everything is fine, (all of the green lights are on) but will not load up internet pages. THe only way i can get to the internet is if i connect through broadband connection, which makes me type in my name and pasword. It never used to be like this, and now my brothers computer and xbox 360 are not connected.

Thank you in advance.

Well, I think the first step is to give us the make/model of all the network equipment, as well as the version/patch level of Windows you use. You obviously have some sort of router, since you're talking multiple computers, I don't see that mentioned.

sorry. I have a versalink 327w as my main modem/router.
On my brothers computer i have a linksys receiver. Not sure the model number.
On my xbox 360, i usually move my modem downstairs. I plan on getting thewireless adapter soon though.

The fact that you have to type in your name/password makes me think the configuration of the router has changed to bridged mode. Here's a direct link to the manual in PDF form, it should guide you to resetting the router to factory defaults and entering your account info. http://www.westell.com/content/sales/327W.pdf
