wireless router probz

[jaavee101]

hi

ok this is a pretty confusing problem

i got a wireless router from my friend after complaining about switch the internet cable from my laptop to my xbox 360 and back. so he gave me a TP-LINK wireless router.

now my laptop gets the connection filly but it says local access only and doesnt connect. i clicked on diagnose the problem and it says primary dns error (ip address)

now im connected to my internet via my brother wired router (linksys)
so i put the internet cable from the wired router and put it into the WAn socket in the wireless router and nothing happens (well the same problems)

then i went and connected the wireless router directly to the modem ignoring the wired router and my brother desktop pc (xp) connected wirelessly to the router but my vista laptop still doesnt connect WHY!!!!

i tried power cycling
i clicked on change ip address, but for some reason i cant change the ip address via ms dos on my laptop something about elevation.

then my laptop wouldnt connect to the internet via my wired router so i had to do a system restore to get my old ip settings na dnow im back on the internet via the wired router

help me please!!!!

heres my techy stuff

[johnwill]

Is that IPCONFIG from a connection to your TP-Link router? What is the TP-Link router connected to?

If you're using a wire from your brother's router to your computer, you just need an Ethernet switch to split the line, not a router. The extra router will throw your XBOX for a loop.

ive kinda sorted the problem ive just replaced the wired router with the wireless router instead so my problems are fixed,its just that the wired router was firewalled, and i didnt know how to configure the firewall bu accessing the routers website thing, so i ditched it. that ipconfig was from the wired router not the tp link router

[johnwill]

Is it solved to your satisfaction?

[jaavee101]

yeah pretty much, i would like to know how to configure the wired routers firewall though, but other than that ITS SOLVED!!

[johnwill]

Normally, the default configuration works pretty well for SOHO routers.

ok now i do have a problem.

when we had the wired router i could use progz like utorrent limewire and all that to download things and it wouldnt have any effect on my brothers or my dads interent connection, but now when i use utorrent it slows down my dads and my brothers internet connection, my dad and bro have a wired interent connecyion from the wireless tp link router, but i have a wireless connection yet it still slows down there connections why???
help their getting really annoyed

Please review the Tech Support Forum Rules & Conduct, and you'll see we provide no support for P2P applications here at TSF.

i dont need support for p2p apps, i know how to use them. i need help with the fact that this tp link router slows down the connection of other family member on the network when i use high amounts of the bandwith, whereas before with the linksys wired router this never happend, we all received 400-600kbps, but now when i use the wireless internet they cant even load up the google page properly, oh and another thing, i went on to dos and pinged a few sites on my dad and bro computer and they kept losing packages only like 2 of 4 went and cam back, if u get what i mean

[johnwill]

Stop using the P2P, the problem will go away. Since this is an issue directly related to the use of P2P applications, it's off-topic here.
