Problem with wireless connection
We have 2 PC's. The modem is connected to the upstairs PC and then a wireless router connects the downstairs PC to the internet. This has been working great since January.
The wireless connection is connected, but I cannot get internet access or email, or anything which connects this way. I keep "repairing" the connection, and it says the connection is good.
The error is that the DNS is not connected
Please can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation

Have you tried turning it all off at the mains - computers, routers, modems - everything. Wait at least a minute and now switch back on in this EXACT order (it won't work otherwise!)
1, Modem. Wait at least 30 seconds for the flashing lights to settle.
2. Router (if separate) - wait again.
3. PCs.
Hopefully this will resolve the problem. If not, we can try something else.
