Well, the modem is connected to his gaming router and then that connectsto the wireless one. The gaming one is some high tech router that assigns different IP addresses for each slot so it doesnt slow down his connection. Theres something wrong with the WAN IP address that is coming out of his gaming router, thus messing up the wireless connection. It says I have a connection but since the IP address is wrong I cant actually connect.
It doesnt help that our comcast modem keeps going out as well. Everytime we think we have it fixed the internet goes out again.
I cant really use a hard line from the modem because its all the way down in our basement and all my stuff is upstairs. Luckily I live in a condo park so I can sometimes (like right now) connect to other unsecured wireless networks, but I dont like doing this if possible.
Cant wait until this is fixed!
