Unidentified Network, Limited connectivity. Yes, another person with this issue.
Last night I accidentally reset my wireless settings on my router. Well, I went through and reconfigured everything on the wireless (and I checked thrice!). My wired connection works, but my wireless doesn't. Upon trying to connect: It would take about 1 minute for the green bar to go ahead and do what it is supposed to do. All the while, the icon in the taskbar would have a /!\ triangle which says "Identifying..." Some of the fixes I tried:
Disabling IPv6
Manually entering connection info in Internet Options
Disabling/Enabling as well as Uninstalling/Re-detecting in the device manager
Power cycling (Even though I know it doesn't do anything)
Rebooting
ipconfig /release
netsh winsock reset
Putting in 001a2b3c4d5e as my MAC address in device manager
Among others. I am wondering if some of you guys could help me out. My ISP is being useless without the account holder in contact. The router in question is an Ambit brand, no sure of the model. Maybe there is something I overlooked that one of you can point out to give me an "oh duh" solution. Let me add some information: In my router's page, under Wireless -- >Access control, I have two entries at the bottom with MAC Address, age, RSSI, IP, and host name. The latter two have "ERROR" under them. This may be relevant.
