Evening, Gentlemen. I just bought a new MSI FX720 from newegg and when I plug it in via ethernet to [b]my[/b] router, it does not connect. Wifi connects to this router without a problem. I was at a friends house earlier today and it connects via ethernet to his router without a problem. Here is the laptop: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152253[/url] Here is my router: [url]http://www.amazon.com/AR690W-Airlink101-Wireless-Gigabit-802-11n/dp/B001LWZD1M[/url] Thanks for your time
Could be the ethernet cable
I've tried 3. No good.
Bump. The machine can connect to 2 other routers via ethernet plus a direct connection to my modem. 8 machines on my network can connect to my router without a problem. This problem is very specific to my machine and router! I can't get any useful tips.. The msi rep told me to return it (in broken english), and the Airlink rep hasn't answered me. Anyone have any ideas?
The problem has been resolved with the help of an Airlink rep who (finally) answered me. There was an unlisted firmware directory that he linked me to that found the newer version. If anyone comes here with an Airlink ethernet problem, tell them to check this out: [url]http://airlink101.com/LegacyFW/[/url] It's unlisted from anywhere within the Airlink site so you need to know your model number and find the newest firmware. Thanks for all the help,
