Ok, so I set up my new router and all is ok except no internet connection... I can log on to the networks with any of my wifi devices/computers, but there is no internet connection... Since I am a bit daft with the network stuff I need help. This is what I did
1) Logged on to my old router/modem combo and disabled the wifi...
2) I am using a wired Lan connection right now in order to type this and do the above
3) Set up my Dlink according to the instructions step by step
4) As far as I know all cables are correct... LAN1 Ethernet port out of the modem into the internet port on back of the Dlink router
5) Set up network as per instructions... passwords, network name etc...
6) Result after a couple of reboots of the system... all wireless connections state "limited connectivity only"...
7) The router does indicate a solid internet connection, however....
So I have no problem connecting to the network, just no internet connection with any device
a) What am I doing wrong? Does the modem need different settings to allow a new router?
b) Some settings in the new router I need to change or enable?
I can sure use help from some of you network guys before I pack it all up and send it back...
***I didn't set this thread for "require assistance" because I felt the credits should be EZ Robot related questions and I didn't want to abuse the credit system...
Thanks a million guys

The Dlink and the wired router need to be on different subnets, or you need to configure the Dlink in AP mode and disable its dhcp server so IP addresses are assigned by the wired router. If both are the same subnet, they will conflict. (former is probably easier and more reliable than latter- it is how my network is set up due to a problem with the wireless part of my FIOS router).

By the way you did help... as I learned a little about IP addresses from you in previous posts here...
Thanks

You'll probably want to assign specific ip addresses to your EZ-B's by MAC address so they always get the same address. Should also be in the DHCP settings section of the router menu.
