  Got me a Zyxel router last night..managed to establish a wireless connection between two PCs..however, the PC with the Wifi adapter could not get the internet browser to be working (meaning that i cant surf the web) despite getting a good strength signal and established a connection..This is driving me nuts!

  let me have a guess.

  it has established connection with the router. but not to the internet.

  if so,

  do u know that Starhub has Mac blocking?

  Not sure if Starhub has MAC blocking... there are several unsecure wireless Starhub users and I can surf the Net with them...

  Most SH has mac blockings. (including mine)

  But i think it's an added service. must pay $ during the installation.

  If added service... means some will not know...

  I m quite uncertain that it's mac blocking.

  But, if master-_- just bought a new router, mac blocking should not exist.

  for mac blocking to exist, you must configurate the router and add on the physical addresses of the computer.

   

  thus, i think is driver issues?

  edit: certain become uncertain.

  Might be drivers issues. Let's solve it one by one.

  Wifi adapter - Using USB or PCI ?

  Router settings - I can't help, I'm on the red tube.

  But here are certain settings to check.

  First... find the default gateway of your router. (Start > Run > type in cmd, press Enter > type in ipconfig /all and press Enter)

  From there, log in to the router and configure it. The rest Kenneth will help you. Check the settings carefully.

  Hmm, from what i know, you must have 2 computers.

   one able to surf the web, and the other nt being able.

  Steps.

  • open internet explorer in the computer that is able to surf the web
  • type: 192.168.1.1  (this is the physical address of the router)
  • you will be shown something like this:

  • type: 1234  (as the password)
  • you should enter this page:

   http://www.uk.clara.net/themes/claranet/images/business-support/2-zyxel.jpg

  • Explore aroudn and search for anything called Mac filtering or blocking
  • If it's enabled, disable it, save settings
  • see if your other computer works

  if it does and you would wish to have this service to prevent people from using ur wifi.

  • start
  • run
  • cmd
  • ipconfig/all
  • default gateway/ Wireless lan adaptor wireless network connection
  • look under physical address
  • record it down: it should be 12 numerical numbers, and every 2 are separated by a '-'
  • go to your mac filtering page
  • Enable it
  • key in the numbers without the "-"
  • you will see 00:41:99:11:94:Ab (an example)
  • Save settings
