When you are able to obtain an IP address using DHCP but not able to ping the default gateway assigned, what would you do?
Suspecting the encryption settings, changing WPA, WPA2 ...., changing all possible settings ....
After replacing my old 2Wire 2700HGV-2 with 5012NV, I was having issue with connecting my Netbook to the WiFi of 5012NV. The netbook is able to obtain an IP address from the router but could not ping to the router.
Other devices has no problem connecting to the Internet using the WiFi connection of the router.
Connecting the netbook to Internet via personal hotspot of iPhone4S has no issues.
Spending many days trying to get the problem resolved, finally decided to call the technician who came. Showing him the problem, requesting him to try out another router. Finally he came back with a Pace A5520N. The problem was solved immediately after replacing the router. Very thankful to Kok Hwa who is willing to help.
Sometime we would never suspect a new replacement router and keep trouble shooting the other device.
