    Hi all, I'm aware that this question has been asked before and after many thread searches I still can't suss out my problem so I'm looking here for help.

    I cannot connect to the internet through my wireless router anymore. My laptop(Mac) tells me my router has no IP address and cannot connect to the internet. I then select my own wireless network, enter password and it say connection timed out and I'm back to square 1. DHCP is enabled and I have re-set everything to no avail.

    Advise would be appreciated.

    It would help if you supplied more information.

    Who is your isp?

    What equipment are you using? modem - router etc?

    Do you make any recent changes to settings in the router/modem? upgrade firmware etc etc

    Are you definitely connected to the net?

    Have you tried a wired connection?


    Can your mac connect through other wireless networks?

    What about all the other questions? If you don't know, it's probably best to call your ISP.
