Wink 2K DHCP Server Unreachable

[stephenm93]

I've tried everything listed throughout the forum and still can't resolve this issue:

Have a Netgear WG511T adapter trying to connect to a Netgear MR814 router. The adapter shows to connect to my available SSID, but refuses to obtain a DHCP IP address. I disabled APIPA, used the WinSock fix utility, rebooted all devices, and even said a prayer, but I still get the following error when trying to renew the IP of the adapter "DHCP Server is unreachable".

I've been at this all day and it sucks! Any help is greatly appreciated.

How to fix wireless connection issues

1. Make sure all wireless devices are using the same mode, infrastructure in the most cases.
2. Make sure all wireless devices have the same SSID.
3. Make sure all wireless devices have the same WEP encryption settings if you have enabled them.
4. Make sure you have added the wireless MAC into MAC Address Control if you enable it.
5. Use ipconfig and ping to test the connection. All wireless devices must be in the same IP range.

Thanks for the reply.

Have done all of the above and still get the DHCP server unreachable error. The router assigns an IP when I run a cable to the router, but will not assign one wirelessly. Sounding more like an issue with the wireless adapter.

Any other feedback is welcomed.
