| 1290145 | 2012-07-22 23:23:00 | Set up my TP-Link TL-WR1043ND and flashed Gargoyle third party firmware (as in my other posts). All my wifi devices (1 Desktop, 3 mobile phones, 1 TV) have no problem in connecting to this beast. But now, my friend brought his older Laptop HP Compaq nx6120 and tried to connect to this Gargoyle but failed. After keying in the WPA2 PSK key, it's trying and trying to acquiring IP addresses without success. Took out my previous Thomson 582N set it up, and away it goes - what a breeze! It's also having the same security WPA2 PSK . Help needed to control this Gargoyle beast! The last thing I want is to be controlled by this Gargoyle beast! :D |

| 1290147 | 2012-07-22 23:41:00 | I thought it's better to start a new one as the 'nature' is different although it is related to certain extent. If it's better to keep them in the same thread, could the Moderator please move it, or I'll re-post it. My apologies if it does cause any confusion. Cheers |

| 1290150 | 2012-07-23 01:07:00 | You could possibly be having a DHCP issue, where the Compaq is trying & failing to obtain a lease on an existing IP address on the Gargoyle router, based on the IP address it had when connected to another router (I've never completely trusted the Windows DHCP client). You can force a DHCP lease release by entering ipconfig /release * at a command prompt, then try again (or ipconfig /renew *. If you don't want to disturb settings for other LAN adapters, you'll have to specify the connection name (in quotes if it has spaces) instead of the "*". | MushHead (10626) | ||
