What FW version is loaded?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Be sure to check the PCs ethernet networking configuration. Should be configured for Auto-Obtain Networking. Contact the mfr of these PCs for additional help and information regarding there product. If one PC works and the other doesn't, the other PC needs to be reviewed.
