Internet works with 2 computer, but not last one or Ipod.

by Griffin_B - 1/31/13 2:20 PM

We've got a wireless connection running through the house. One day after coming back from school, neither my computer or my Ipod could connect to the internet. It says I'm connected to the normal network I use, and even shows the signal strength, but i can't get online. Today we learned that my mother can't get online with her phone while connected to the Wi-fi. Her laptop and the family computer in the living room can still get online. Any ideas on what we can do to fix it?

We know the some routers do this. But I can't find details. Also, does the device work at other wifi locations.

The computer is a tower, so I'm not sure if it would work at other wi-fi spots, but the Ipod does.

The router is a D-Link WBR-1310.

Now reset the router and try again. If anyone updated the router a recent rash of ipod and now PC connect issues are going around but the fix is to go back to the prior router firmware version.

Sorry but details are still too light. I see a router model, but no detail about it, settings, firmware rev, etc.,
