I'm fat fingering this on my phone since thats the other method I have to post at the moment, so please pardon any grammar mistakes.
Ok, so I got my new router today (Dlink DIR-860L) that replaced my Trendnet (that tandomly woyld stop sercice yo all connections and needed a hard reset to work again)and went ahead and plugged it up. I followed the setup instructions precisely and finished the setup wizard.
After completing it, I noticed I still had no internet connection on my pc. Made sure router settings were kosher and did a modem and router restart for the heck of it. still nothing. the pc couldn't recognize the network "unidentified network". when I go to diagnose under the network adapter....it always ends by saying "ethernet doesnt have a valid IP configuration".
A quick list of steps I've done...
Uninstalled reinstalled network driver
Released renewed IP (would never renew )
TCP/IPv4 checkmarked and set to auto IP and DNS
Factory reset of modem.
Now under the traffic, it shows many packets sent but absolutely 0 received. it shows "no network access" for both ipv4 and ipv6 under ethernet status.
Here's the big issue I'm having with this. at first after all the tests and troubleshooting , it was thought to be a bad router. well...... I put the old router back in service and the same exact problem is happening now while using that one. I have a Xbox one and a blu ray player connected to the router and I have no service for either of them EXCEPT if I'm using the WiFi option. then the xbone will connect BUT still won't allow voice communications. BD player doesn't have WiFi. I did a direct connect from the xbone and modem and exactly the same. I can connect but no voice communication . did a direct connection from the modem to my pc, nothing....same. now I was thinking the modem, but how is it having WiFi service (through the router)??
My brain is fried from working on it and searching this since noon today . I know I left stuff out. Hopefully you guys know what's going on.
Thanks !!!!
