Ok folks.

Arrived in Poland and bro in law tells me that his younger brother took it upon himself to install avira anti virus on his win 8 laptop. Since he did that only the laptop could connect to the internet through the router. No other devices. So they uninstalled avira and now not even the laptop connects . All devices , my S2 included , are getting a strong signal on wifi.

To try and solve the problem they have been playing with the security settings of the network and tried leaving it open and unsecured. To no avail.

So to further muddy the waters the laptop is only in Polish unless you know how to switch. It to English w/out a win disc or connection. And the router has no brand name on it. Simply says wlan router.

My brother in law is pretty adamant that avira changed something and he doesn't know what . Please help .
 
he is now getting error 651. cooling this is rather worrying . The router has lights etc and when I try and connect I basically sit at obtaining iphone address. He has tried cable and no change . It used to be secured with password. Now they changed it.
 
There is a hard reset button but it's been pressed and no joy. The lights come on in order power wan wlan. My s2 just keeps going from obtaining ip address to saved. But never connects.

The network settings have been changed on the laptop . Not sure if the router homepage has been changed though .

Edit: having a look at history it appears that they have been visiting page 192.168.1.254

Well thanks for the help guys . It's. Got limited connectivity when plugged in via cable which is actually same as wifi. Just doesn't go on net. Can't access the router settings though . Tech support. Coming tomorrow . We'll just have to leave it to them
