Why can't wireless LAN clients share the Internet?

Q: In a wired and wireless hybrid network connected by a wireless router, the wired network can access the Internet normally. However, computers in the wireless network cannot share the Internet through the wireless router.

Answer: (1) because some wired networks can access the Internet, there is no problem with the hardware connection between the ADSL Modem and the wireless router. The following are the network settings in the wireless LAN. You need to set the IP address of the wireless Nic to "automatically obtain the IP address ".

(2) It may also be caused by improper configuration of the wireless router. For example, to restrict access to a computer, access to the IP address and port of the computer is restricted through the Management page of the wireless router. At this time, you can re-open the management page, click "Access Control" on the left side of the Management window, and then cancel the IP access settings in the window on the right.

(3) Except for the preceding reasons, if either the wireless router or the wireless network adapter has a WEP Key but the other is not set, or because the keys set by both parties are different, it may also cause a fault.

Tip: Sometimes, after setting the wireless LAN client, you will find that you still cannot connect to the Internet. In this case, you can restart the wireless router and try again.
