Hi guys.

My mate has a brand new Sony vaio laptop and everything was working ok up until Saturday.

It finds the wireless network, but constantly says limited access. I can't even access the router page itself. Tried loads of different things like ipconfig /release and /renew to no avail.

When it connects to the network it is getting a 10.354.254.xx address for the ip and default gateway, and for the life of my I can't work out why.

If i set up settings manually to what they should be it works fine, as soon as I set it back to automatic it disconnects again.

Tried installing driver also.

Wtf? Please help.

EDIT: Router is fine as other devices work with it. Just wanted to try something else before i try a recovery as he said it happened after some updates, but a rollback has proved unsuccessful. System recovery is last resort.

As said, the router is fine. If I connect my phone to it it is fine, if I connect my laptop to it, it's fine.
 
Yes they take it around a lot. He has backed up all his stuff today so we can have another go, might just give up and recover it tbh. Static IP all the time is not an option. I've tried EVERYTHING. I just can't get my head around it.
 
OK. This is getting on my nerves now. I done a full recovery on his laptop, and also a full hard reset on the router so we had a fresh lot of settings. It worked for all of 2 minutes then when I restarted I had to resort to using a static IP address again.

I don't understand what the issue is, I have exactly the same wireless router at my house and it connects with no issues, and my devices connect to his router with no issues. I don't understand why they won't talk :/
