    Can't log on more than 1 laptop using wireless router
    Recently I had to reconfigure my Linksys router. Prior to that my children who do not live here could log on to the internet using my wireless set up without having to change their ip address on their laptops. Now, they cannot log on. I do not remember having to "set-up" their laptops when they came home from college. I have checked the support site for Linksys and admit it is difficult for me to understand exactly how to correct this so more than just my laptop will work in this household. Is there anyone that can simplify what I must do?

    Thank you.

    Without any further info, my guess is that DHCP is disabled in your router. DHCP is used to automatically assign IP addresses to computers that attach to your network.

    Hope this helps,
