***I know this looks long, just take a good minute to read and respond and help out, I'll really appreciate it!***
I had a D-Link DIR-625 router setup for somebody with a DWA-542 PCI wireless adapter.
Set it up with their cable internet service (Videotron) and the wired computer worked fine and dandy.
Then I try to connect the second computer through the wireless adapter (DWA-542) It doesn't connect, just gives me "Not Connected" in the Wireless Networks window. I took a look at the wired computer, and saw an error bubble from the taskbar telling me about an ip address conflict so I went to the wireless computer and forgot what I did, but got it to work eventually.
Now they call me back, and the problem has reoccurred, so my solution hadn't fixed the problem permanently. So I got them to execute "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew" in the command prompt and this didn't fix the issue.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to the router at the moment, but I will be going to their house on Saturday. I'm thinking of setting up static ip addresses for them, to resolve that whole "ip address conflict" issue, but what could you guys suggest? I want to go there well prepared with possible solutions to try out.
I've set up plenty of routers for people and NEVER got this issue before... is the router trying to assign the same ip to both computers? I don't understand
