Another quick question; what kind of modem do you have and how long have you had it? Those things love to crap out and sometimes all it takes is a quick call to the ISP and they'll replace it for free.

Fiber and we had this for 4 years

Just to cover some basic stuff ..

Have you rebooted the Modem feeding your wireless router?

Restarted your computer?

Try the following as well:

Go to Start -> Run

Type in cmd (this should open a black window)

Type the following:

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

(wait about a minute or so)

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /registerdns

I can't find those on the top. Or it cant find them

I can find those on the top,

Wait about another minute and then check your internet connection again and see if it works

Unplug everything, wait 30 seconds then retry, make sure you have no block on your Wifi, if you didnt set one odds are you dont have one but you never know, let the battery on the lap top run dead then completely recharge

Is there any chance that someone in your household changed any settings on the wireless router?

Please let us know the result of Yamagata's suggestion. If you don't know how to delete a wireless network, here's some instructions

If it doesn't fix it, you may find the problem comes back exactly the same afterwards, or you may find that windows refuses to reconnect due to some error when you try to reconnect, details please.

Can you check if your laptop has been configured for a static ip?

and more instructions if you don't know how to do that http://www.ehow.com/how_6789902_tell-stati...ip-address.html

Do you have any friends who can lend you another modem/router for an hour to try out? I'm really starting to think that the modem itself (especially at 4 years of age) is just worn out, and a simple replacement will fix it. If you can get another modem in there, and it all works fine, then you know that your current FIber one is in need of replacement. ISP's will replace them for free, just have to bring the current one in.

Replacing the router will almost certainly resolve the issue. But that isn't because the current one is old, it's because replacing the router will change virtually every variable in the problem.

Is your router separate from your fiber modem, or are they an integrated unit? Is the router, or modem/router combo, owned by you or your ISP? The ISP will obviously only replace their own gear.

Are other machines in your household connected via wireless and functioning properly?

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
