No Internet Access - but still connected?
Hi, I've been having this problem for some time now, and up until this point, it's been nothing more than a nuisance. However, I've finally just had it. I have a WGR614 v7 wireless router, and for...
- Believe it or not I did, for the most part.
Like most wireless routers, every couple of days, or a week or so, this problem will present it self and I cant get any internet. The solution I found was to open the Router Manger (http://192.168.1.1/start.htm from a browser) and click the "Setup Wizard" link on the left. All I do is re-run the wizard and it seems to restart the router software. All devices will disconnect and then reconnect and it usually works. Sometimes I need to do this process a few times but it usually takes care of it.
Please let me know if this works for you or not, or if you figure out something else, thanks.

I have almost the exact same issue but have not been able to resolve it.
I set up this router (netgear wgr614 v6) 2 weeks ago straight from the box. Last weekend I was out of town so I unplugged both the router and cable modem while i was gone. When i came home and plugged them both back in, things started to not work.
Basically I can sync up with the router from both my wireless laptop and wireless desktop (both Windows Vista), and the little icon that indicates the router is connected to the internet shows up but when i try to open a webpage, it says there is no internet connection.
2 nights ago I was trying to troubleshoot this and it suddenly worked (i could access the internet) and everything was fine. Then last night I tried to use my laptop and the same problem was there but this time nothing made it work.
In trying to fix this I have, obviously, restarted all components multiple times, I rest the factory defaults to the router and set it up all over again.
I contacted Comcast (cable internet provider) and they were of no help, just said restart the modem, router, and computers. At one point I did get internet for about 2 minutes and then it stopped working again. I wasn't changing settings or anything when this happened, it just started working and then stopped.
I'm thinking this might be a software or settings issue because I had the setup working for about 2 weeks and everything was fine, nothing went wrong until i unplugged the router and modem for the weekend.
I cant copy and paste the ipconfig now because I'm not on those computers at the moment, but both computers came back with the "media disconnected" response in about 4 or 5 places when I ran ipconfig.
I'm not a networking genius but I'm not an idiot either. I'm at a total loss and don't know what else to do so if anyone can help me out, I'd be so grateful! Thanks for your help!
