Re: Got a new router...having trouble getting connectable AGAIN
yep, tried that a couple times actually. I seed with a laptop that's connected to the wireless network. There's a desktop on the network also, but I don't use it and the desktop is hardwired into the router. I've rebooted everything multiple times...

Re: Got a new router...having trouble getting connectable AGAIN
Did you try running Speed Test from utorrent. From there You can test the port (verify utorrent and router are looking at the same port).

From Comand Prompt type ipconfig. Verify IP address is the same as router is set to. If not change the address in the router.

Re: Got a new router...having trouble getting connectable AGAIN
While I appreciate the responses, having 3 different people tell me I shouldn't have 2 routers is overkill. I've explained why I have a DSL modem and a wireless router hooked up. My DSL modem doesn't have wireless capability - hence the need for a wireless network (see: WIRELESS ROUTER). The router is brand new (and was free) so I'm not about to run out and buy a new DSL modem/router combo. DSL isn't very common in my area to begin with. Even my local best buy doesn't carry DSL modems. I live in the middle of Comcast Country, but I refuse to do business with Comcast - so I use Verizon DSL.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - even if my DSL modem + wireless router setup isn't ideal - this exact same configuration worked for over a year with NO issues at all. It's only been since my last router died and I replaced it with the exact same model that these issues began happening. Previously I had forwarded a port from the modem to the wireless router, then from the router to the laptop -- and it worked fine. Yet when I have tried to do that since getting the replacement router, I am unable to get the same configuration/settings to work this time. If my setup is "bad", I have yet to hear anyone explain how it is I was fully connectable for over a year with the same hardware/setup/config. So even though many of you may think my setup is not optimal (and you may be right) there is still no reason why this setup shouldn't work since I had it working in the past with the exact same hardware. Thanks. No members have liked this post.

Re: Got a new router...having trouble getting connectable AGAIN
with so many routers, you should know something about routing!

Re: Got a new router...having trouble getting connectable AGAIN
Since you didn't pay for the router, maybe now is a good time to buy a modem. Ditch the combo.
