Title: Home network doesn't show on my pc
Post by: ag591588 on August 28, 2013, 09:31:34 PM

I had to recreate my home wireless network today. Everything went fine. I can access it through my IMAC but it just doesn't show on my pc when i scan for available networks. I see all the other networks but not mine. My PC is still at the same place, and it worked fine before. I did not move it, so it's not a matter of interference, thick wall, or whatever... I reinstalled winXP to see if it would change something... nada. Anyone have a clue? Which settings might be involved?

My router is a WBR-1310.

Thanks.

Welcome! (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=41537.0)

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Router and Wired Configurations
Some things to try: - Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1. Use IE, Opera or FF to manage the router.

• Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual or under Setup/PARENTAL CONTROL/Set to>None: Static IP or Obtain Automatically From ISP.
• Input a name for Local Domain if this option available. Ensure each windows PC is set for this same name for the workgroup name.
• Enable Use Unicasting (compatibility for some ISP DHCP Servers) under Setup/Internet/Manual.
• Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking. Link>Finding Faster DNS Addresses using Name Bench (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=53222.0)
• Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting.
• Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
• Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall. Enable or Disable SPI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPI) to test.

The set up corresponds to your recommendations (I don't have some of the option mentioned though).

I'm in Montreal, Qc, Can.

I see there is a more recent version of FW if you choose to upgrade:

If you do, please follow this process:
FW Update Process (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42457.0)

Set up the router from scratch after the last Factory reset and test.

Ensure your workgroup or Local Domain name is the same on all PCs and on the router.
