Ok, this problem has drove me mad! Now i'm hoping to get a little help from anyone here..I'll try making the problem as clear as possibly can, here goes..
I have BT modem and a D-link ADSL router..I've been told that I only need the one to connect to the internet but I still have both. Now both of them are using the same address which is 192.168.1.1. I wanted to set up a passkey to secure my wireless but I couldn't since both the modem and router use the same address (192.168.1.1) so I then switched off my modem for a brief moment and got onto my router page by using 192.168.1.1, I then changed the address so in future it would be easier for me to access as both my modem and router seem to clash. Now this has been working fine for a couple of months until recently..
I was just on my laptop as I normally would be, when the connection started to go really slow, I thought it was a problem with my router or my modem so I restarted both. As I did this.. the router address changed back to 192.168.1.1 which is the same as my modem one, so they clashed again! Since the computer I usually do this on has a tonne of viruses and is really slow I decided to change my router address on my laptop and set the passkey again. I got the wireless running again but it says its connected but I cant get any websites to work. I then used another laptop to check if the problem was the same but the wireless was working perfectly on it! I looked at my default gateway..and on mine it would be..192.168.1.68 and on the other laptop (internet works on this one) it would be 192.168.1.1. So they don't match! How do I get them both to be the same? because i'm sure they need to be since it's usually the same connection..
Now I hope that makes sense to anyone who reads this, I would really appreciate the help!
