Laptops trying to connect via wireless? Only able to connect only via wired connection
- by Chris J. Lee
It seems that all the wireless laptops in the office have disconnected and are unable to reconnect to the wifi after a terrible storm caused some power interruptions.
Troubleshooting actions
Verify wireless broadcasting is up
With each laptop i ended up flushing their dns cache on Win 7 (ipconfig /flush )
Performed an ipconfig /all to see what the new ip is
Made sure password was correct
Reset the router (multiple times)
restarted each laptop. Tried connecting wirelessly
Am i missing some small detail ?
Network information
The router is a linksys/cisco WRVS4400N router. Supports a lot of fancy features i don't know how to use.
We have 3 static ip's the conference room computer, the wireless printer, my computer
Mostly windows machines, we have 3 mac users
