so my brother has a wireless access point router which had WPA encryption and 2 laptops connected to it for ages.

Last week i build a new rig for him with a PCI wireless card that came with my ASUS mobo, i wasnt able to connect to the router whatever i tried (long story) so i decided to hardreset the router to factory settings without encryption.Now it was able to find the wireless network and even connect to it ( or at least it says its connected and everything is working ).

But i cant watch websites or use any apps to connect to the internet, i disabled the onboard lan in bios , also uninstalled its drivers so only the wireless card appears in network settings , also ipconfig in cmd prompt shows it got an IP addy from router 192.168.*.* .

What could be the issue ? as i have only little troubleshoot expierence with wireless networks.

Can you ping IP-adresses or anything? Try that for starters.. Smile
