How do I reset my router and connect it to a different computer?

You can reset it to factory default settings by pressing the reset button and type a new password by accessing the router.

frequency setting in the router may be different on your computer, try the reset on the router and the settings back

How is your internet security set? Try resetting your router to factory specs and see if your laptop works. I know it seems weird that only one computer wont connect, but try a different router, and try a different security setting within your wireless router.

You need to bridge mode your modem. And when set it to bridge mode already. Connect the dlink router. Access the gui of the router. Enter there your username and password. Powercycle modem, router and computer. Check connections. I f this didnt work, set again your modem to default, connect your router. Configure your router with username and password. Powercycle again. Check if it is working.

Your computer is connected to the router. check the port lights on the router. If your computer is connected to number 1 port on the router then you will see port 1 light on the router.
Connect your computer to one of port 1, 2, 3, or 4. Not to the Internet port.
If the port light is not lit up then check the connections. Make sure that there is no loose connection.
If ti is lit up then check the IP address on your computer. The default gateway number wil be the IP address of the router. Use that number to access the rotuer settings. Some times the Ip address of the router will be different ( Depends on ISP ).
Once you have correct I address of the router then try to ping that number and check if you get replies.

is your router powered? make sure your router is powered properly.

are you connecting your computer to the LAN ports? (the ones with a number not the one that say WAN? connect your computer to one of the LAN numbered ports and check to see if you get a green light on the front pannel. if you don't have green light, try a different port until, if you run out of ports and still no green light try a different cable.

have you by any chance disable your lan ports? I don't know if it is possible on your router to disable some ports, if that's the case is better to start fresh and simply reset your router by pressing a reset button for a minute while your router is getting powered and retest to see if you a green light on the lan port where you are connecting your computer.

if all this fails, it's very likely that your router has died. replaced accordingly.

if it says limited connectivity then the port on the router for ethernet is not working
