No Access to Internet when Cable Modem is connected to Wireless Router
December 23rd, 2009 | Author: admin
Why does my internet works when I connect my cable modem to my PC but does not work when I connect the cable modem to my wireless router?
I see this question asked time and time again on pc support forums and blogs. Some of the answers suggested are :
1. Reboot your cable modem
2. Update your wireless router firmware to the latest version
3. Clone your MAC address
The first two suggestions do not solve your connection problem while the third suggestion, cloning your MAC address, works most of the time. What does work is to either call up your provider and have them release the MAC address binding on their system or power off your cable modem for at least 30 minutes. Then connect your cable modem to your wireless router and power up your cable modem.
