I have the mega100wr wireless router, everthing seems tp be going alright untill I try install other computers though wireless.. it cant aqure a network adress... I have tried to manually make network adress under tcp id settings buht then cant connect to net.. any ideas?
 
Are you using MAC authentiation and not adding the new ones?
Maybe it's forced to G and the new clients are only B.
Maybe DHCP isn't enabled.
 
I think I am using this mac client thing how do I fnd what the new numbers are?
They are all g so thats not it
and for the rest of that stuff I have to admit I am kinda ignorant still so could you PLEASE explain?
 
Okeydokey, to find out the MAC goto the client PC and run ipconfig /all from the command prompt. Look for the wireless adpater and under that you will find "physical address". You might need to add these to the access control on the router. Have you actually setup and wireless stuff on the router yet at all? You have to enable it as well on the router
 
Well, if he didn't actually enable MAC address filtering then MAC addresses wouldn't be the problem. I have it enabled on our router in any case :D
