No connection on your router after relocating to a new flat.
No connection on your router after relocating to a new flat.
Hey everyone, I recently moved into a new flat and run into some router problems. Connecting the LAN cable from the wall works fine, but using my phone or other devices for Wi-Fi shows no internet connection. When I use the old router left by the previous tenant, everything functions properly. The issue seems to be that the old router is outdated and its maximum speed is only 10% of what my router offers, even though the internet from my provider is the same in my area. Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Verify if your new router has connectivity problems and whether it receives a WAN IP address. Even though the physical connection appears identical, the underlying protocol for linking to the ISP network could differ—such as fiber versus DSL, or DHCP versus PPPoE.
There are various ways to deliver internet connectivity. An ISP may use older systems like copper cables for xDSL or newer fiber optics. A single router might not be compatible with another type, possibly needing additional equipment or settings. It's advisable to reach out to your ISP for help, as it's challenging to provide support through a forum without proper expertise.
