    HI,

    Have a wgr614 wifi. Basically somethings happened and i can only connect to router as 'local' and it wont connect to internet.
    This means i can connect to router and see settings etc like attached devices and portforward.
    Other people can connect to internet so its my problem only.

    Ive d/loaded the network drivers and am going to reinstall these later and see if that works but have a feeling it wont.

    Anyone any suggestions. If you need more info let me know.

    Im sending this in work btw...sorry boss!

    That's just a router on it's own, how is it meant to be connecting to the internet?

    Default gateway is wrong. You need to make sure its set to the same ip address as the router.
