Hi, I know this is a popular topic but I am yet to find a thread that mirrors my experience.
I'm running W7 32 bit on a desktop wired pc. I had a Lynksys wrtg54 working on my old pc with XP. I put together a new pc with W7 home premium, but could not get the router to connect with the pc. As the router was old, I replaced it with a Net Gear WNDR3700. Same problem. I now see that the problem must be with W7. I'm wondering if there is an issue with IP address assignment however I'm not competent enough to know this. I have read the troubleshooting documents, restored factory defaults. Still can't find a solution. I have tried the W7 wizard for network setup but to no avail. My internet connection is fine, its just the router(s) won't connect. My network adapter is Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller and IVp6 is disconnected. I'm sure the solution is straightforward but I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
