R7900P Ethernet
I use Windows 10 computer connected to my R7900P with ethernet and wirelessly. While the wireless is fine my ethernet does not connect to the internet. It says Unidentified network.
I have the same issue as described here. I have the same issue with my Laptop and Desktop.
R7900 Connected through ethernet to am R6300 then from the R6300 to my PC. It used to work up until a couple of weeks ago.
I have not initiated any changes
So remove the R6300 from between the R7900 and your PC?
Your replies are not understandable. You say the problem went away and now your have another problem?
Sorry, I had worked on this issue, and in the middle of that, I had to reinstall Win10 so that computer became inoperable.
I have the R6300 connected to the R7000 using Ethernet to extend the wireless range. The R7900 is connected to a Cable Modem out to the Internet.
I would first make sure the PC works with the R7900.
Ensure that the R6300 is in AP mode.
Be sure your using good quality LAN cable. CAT6 is recommended.
I connect the PC directly to the R7900 and it sees a wired connection but cannot reach the Internet (Cable Modem).
I cannot log into the R6300 so, for now, I cannot confirm its settings. I will keep trying.
Thank you very much for your help.
