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.

Well I got it working again - I eventually just reset the entire thing.
For some reason, it wouldn't let me reset it at first (an error message kept popping up in Stage 3 or something), then I tried in the morning, and it let me reset it just fine.
However, that still doesn't explain why any of this happens in the first time.
We're still running into that same problem where either one of us is browsing the internet, then when we try to access a webpage (this can be after 5 hours of problem-free surfing or 5 minutes of problem-free surfing), then our internet shuts down - BUT, the router's lights are still all green, my laptop says that I'm connected to the internet, great connection strength, everything. However, pages won't load.
Like I said, to solve this, I unplug the input Ethernet cable from the back of the router, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back in. That always seems to fix it.
But it seems to me that this fix shouldn't even be required...
Just strikes me as rather odd.
