How to give wireless router a new ip?

Question

we have a dsl. I am trying to install a wireless router (Planet wrt 416) which replaces my old linksys one.

I have installed the hardware and all, and my system even shows the wireless connected but my internet doesn't work. I remember last time with the linksys router there was some ip conflict which some computer savy friend of ours fixed.

i think i need to change the ip of the router but i have no idea how to do this. Please help.

P.S. i've tried the windows 'repair' but it gets stuck on the "renewing ip address" step for hours.

Answer 1

You need to connect to the wireless router to renew the IP.

If you aren't sure, there should be a reset button to hard reset the device. Set your machine to DHCP, and it should work.
