Problems with router and Cavalier DSL

Jan 11, 2008 11:21AM PST

Ok I got Cavalier DSL about 2 months ago. I've had problems getting a router to work properly with it the entire time. I have 2 D Link routers one is a DGL-4300 the other is a WBR-2310. At first I thought it was a problem with my router so I exchanged the WBR-2310 and still had the issue so then I bought the DGL-4300 and its still an issue. So basically I set up everything and I connect my DSL modem to the WAN port and connect all my computers to the wireless connection yada yada. When I renew the IP address I can make one connection to the internet weather it be a messenger or a webpage. After that only that connection will work I can browse that webpage as much as I want but I can not go to another web page. I called Cavalier about it and they said it was a problem with my router and to call the router company. It works flawlessly if I have the modem connected straight to the computer but through wireless or wired ports on the router from any computer in my house it does what I described previously.

Actually it was a DNS problem. Aparently my ISP is giving out 2 DNS servers a primary and secondary and the one they give to my router as primary is dead. So I had to go in and do manual DNS and use the secondary as the primary and now it works perfectly. The firmware was actually up to date when I got it.

Cavalier C2 DSL Bundle
May 9, 2008 12:37AM PDT

I am currently using dial-up and a Dell Desktop Dimension L800r Windows ME. I am getting a roommate but the deal-breaker is I must have WiFi. I have Cavalier unlimited local for $24.95 ($47 after taxes, fees etc) but now they are offering C2 DSL Bundle for $50 including unlimited long-distance. The Cav-tel sales rep was clueless if my current desktop could handle C2 DSL.

My question can it? If yes, how do I get WiFi? or better yet how do I setup this DSL and WiFi? Most grateful for all replies.

You are dragging up many old posts to ask the same questions over and over. You'll get better results by making your own new post and maybe something that is recently discussed in a few days.
