[Q] Wifi Problem ?

---

Anyone having a problem connecting to there wifi, mine just refuses to work. I tried tethering via my phone and that worked ok but it won't work with my router for some unknown reason. It authenticates and actually says its connected but no webpages will work and I can't connect to a google account.

Any idea's ?

Same with mine.

Create a static connection:Eg.

Choose static rather than DHCP.

Address:
192.168.1.xxxxx(some free address on your network)

Gateway (Or whatever the field is called): Make sure it connects to whatever your router is set at
eg.
192.168.1.254

Dns - Doesn't seem to matter. I put
8.8.4.4

With a bit of experimenting that should work. Is yours a BeBox by any chance?

Yep bloody bebox lol, do you post on avforums ?.

Yup. I do indeed. Did you get it working in the end?

I hope they fix this - If I want to connect to a wifi network on holiday and it plays up like this I won't want to have to find out the gateway address first!

Would that make a difference? And if so, how to fix it?

Yeah it worked in the end, just done the static ip like you said.
