Windows 10: Streaming not working with new router

Hello!After upgrading my router i can no longer stream from some websites. Most sites work but some just keep reloading the videoplayer a few times then gives me error that its not supported. It works fine with old router and works on phone with both old router and phone data but when i plug in the new one it just stops working.Is there any default router setting that might be blocking the site? I have tried turning off the firewall on router but no change.All tips appriciated

New Router

I suggest that you
ask a question of your own as tagging posts onto existing questions does not normally attract much attention in this forum.

For your question, I suggest you use a title that sums up the problem such as
Computer keeps losing connection to the router.

In the categories that appear underneath your question, I suggest you select Windows, Windows 10, Network & internet, PC.

In your question description, I suggest you split your explanation up into the following sections to help make the situation more readily understandable. Your existing posts have comments about symptoms mixed up with comments about other subjects and it
is all very difficult to comprehend.

1 Your equipment & its configuration [Dell 23 computer running Windows 10 Home/Premium 32/64 bit, connected to home(?) network through a xxx router with a modem/cable connection to internet].

• Clarify the types of connection you have tried [LAN/WiFi].
• Clarify which bits of equipment have been replaced.
• Add a comment that your other [Win8.1?] computer connects to the router without any problems through its LAN/WiFi.

2 Any unusual applications or unusual software configurations.

• You ought to explain Drive Support & CCleaner Professional usage or you'll just get people asking you to do so later.
  
• Clarify your reference to Windows media center. It is not compatible with Windows 10.
• I never stream video so I don't know if that involves any special configurations that could usefully be explained for your readers.

3 Exactly what the problem symptoms are.

• State whether the problems are apparent only on LAN connections or also on WiFi connections.
• State whether the problems are apparent if you connect to other equipment such as a smartphone's mobile hotspot.
• Explain anything that seems to affect the symptoms such as, but not limited to, Windows update.
  
• Explain when the problem becomes apparent [when trying to connect / after doing something specific like receiving streaming video / ...]

4 What rectification action has been tried and what effect it has had.
Avoid saying "did not work" or similar as that can often mask useful information.

4.1 What you have done

• Clean reinstallation of Windows 10 Home/Premium {if I understood you correctly},
• Replacing various bits of kit [list them],
• Resetting the router,
• Setting the router up from scratch again,
• Trying a different router.

4.2 Action by Dell - both what they have done and what they have said.

4.3 Action by Geek squad - both what they have done and what they have said.

4.4 Action by anybody else - both what they have done and what they have said.

I will not be able to help as I have never had any router problems so have not developed any expertise on the subject [I have never thought routers were either compatible or incompatible with OSs. I thought they were as independent as, say, USB memory
sticks.]. My router is an Edimax BR-6226n and it works correctly with my Dells. I have also used my phone's mobile hotspot as a router sometimes and it also works correctly.

Best of luck to you,

Denis

Doesn't your ISP has a list of suggested routers? If not, look for 802.11 AC Wireless routers.

 

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
