Would it change anything if I connected the router to one of my laptops and tried that way? I would think it could, if it's a 7-compatibility thing... if it's not I guess it probably wouldn't right?
There's no way to get around having to get in the router to update it? Can't download the firmware and install any other way? Just wanting to double-check.
You just need to log in and give it static IP settings. Use any machine you have at your disposal. Make sure you have all the IPs ready to add.
Just wanted to update...
It seems that the person who originally set up the router to this computer did not clone the MAC address after having set up the new computer. I happened to stumble across this as a possible solution, and it worked. I guess my ISP essentially blocked the wireless connection, or something.
I just wanted to post, in case it might help someone else I guess. (For this Belkin router: Router Setup Utility, Internet WAN, MAC address, Clone, Save/Apply Changes, it should say "Connected" in the upper right-hand corner once it's complete... not sure about other routers)
Thanks for the help, though!
Thanks for giving the time to give us the update. Hope to still see you around the blocks :)
