Too late now. The guy tried explaining the process to us after fixing it, but most went over my head. It took him a half-hour to undo everything I screwed up while trying to reconnect my parents' compputer to the network.

Thankns, though.

Once again, wrongfully permabanned from 4chan. I tried the whole "ipconfig /release/renew" thing, but it didn't change my IP. I'm afraid of unplugging our router for obvious reasons. Suggestions?

EDIT: I read that simply going to this page and clocking 'OK' would change it, but no such luck. Neither IPv4 nor IPv6 did anything.

Perhaps you should stop ****ing off mods.

What's your ISP?

Xplornet. It's a dinky little service most likely based in an outhouse.

Finally changed our IP by cloning the MAC address (whatever that means), but now we're again left with an unsecured connection. Could this lead to anyone, say, compromising our banking information?

EDIT: Also, now my parents can't connect to our network. Are you guys really able to figure this out on your own?

We're having our tech guy in on Monday. It'll probably be another 70 bucks.

Try going to your router settings here to set up the security again.

I sometimes also hold down the reset button for about thirty seconds.

I tried both of those. Their phones just aren't locating the network.

Does it matter which end you unplug it from?

I'd suggest the wizard or the "tools" menu.

...Another $66.67, to be precise.

Are you really paying that much for someone to "fix" a $30 four-year-old router that lacks Gigabit Ethernet, USB ports, or WiFi Protected Security (Push Button Configuration)?

Did the router come from your ISP? Who is your ISP?

He'll just change a couple settings. I'm not sure whether it came from our ISP.
