Unidentified Network
Ive been through many of the posts on here about the Unidentified network error. Ok first I am using a computer that has Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit installed. It has an Intel 82562 Network Adapter and I am connecting it wired to a Netgear WPN824v3. Yes both of these have the most recent firmware and it didnt work before I upgraded the firmware on both. Prior to using this Netgear I had been using a Netgear WNR2000 but we were having issues with the wireless on that router where it would just completely stop. Ok this is where it gets complicated. I am too far from the modem to connect directly to it. This was not the case 24 hours ago when I was plugged into the WNR2000. The computer was moved across the house and most of the network has been changed. Windows Update also installed a bunch of updates right when I shut it down to move the PC but I have uninstalled all of them and it didnt change anything. The room with the modem has a DLink DI-524. Everything connected to that router works fine including the Netgear WPN824v3. The Netgear WPN824v3 has a computer with XP on it connected to it and it is running perfectly. I can also plug my laptop into it and it works fine and also the wireless on it functions great. I need to use both these routers right now because I have that many wired devices that I need all the ports. Ive tried setting up a static IP as well as letting the router assign one and I can't get anything either way. I can not even get into the router settings or anything else on the network. A ipconfig /all shows that the default gateway is blank so I put the proper address for the gateway in and it comes up in ipconfig but I still have no connectivity. I originally thought the cable had something to do with it so I bought a new one and there was no change. I am completely lost here if anyone has any other ideas please help thank you.
In short I think Ive tried all the most common fixes and I still have made no progress whatsoever.
