Hugely irritating wireless problem
Hi, I am really hoping someone might be able to help me here as have spent about the last 7 hours on the phone to tech support and have done everything I can think of and am still nowhere!
Here's the problem:
- No longer able to connect to the internet wirelessly.
- Using Realtek RTL8180 wireless PCI card in Dell PC connecting to Buffalo WBMR-G125 Wireless router. The router lights show a DSL connection and Internet connection established, and the computer says it has successfully connecte to the wireless network, and I am able to ping the router so long as I have a LAN cable plugged into it also, but I am unable to connect to the internet and have no idea why.
The setup has been working for about 6 weeks and suddenly failed last Friday, there have been no changes in software or hardware in that time.
Any ideas anyone,
Cheers, Dan

Hi and welcome to D-A-L 
can you reset the router/modem?
is that the only modem you have?
have you security set up on it?
can you get to the routers homepage? it may be 192.168.11.1

I would get you to consider downloading the updated drivers for the wireless card and installing them over again.
The amount of times this has been the case with me! Try it!
