My Father in Law is having an issue with his broadband at the moment, basically the router is being found and signal strength is excellent however nothing connects to the Internet. I checked the Network settings and it seems that the access type is set to local, would this have anything to do with it? And if so how do I change this, I noticed on my own that the access type is internet.

I cant even get to the admin page of the router using the ip address 192.168.1.1, also when I go cmd - ipconfig - it is showing some obscure ip address like 162.197.2.217 and no default gateway.

I connected my router to his phone line and laptop and using my phone I could find my router and wifi it came up as donalg1 which is what I have it named. All other androids and stuff could connect to donalg1, however the laptop would not connect. And when I tried connecting to his router I couldnt connect either.

Any ideas?
