You have ten(10) ROUTERS ? Do you mean SWITCHES?

YES TP LINK link router tl-mr3420

How is the Network setup ?
PC -> Switch -> Router ?
PC -> Router ?

How are the 10 Routers interconnected ?

Change the MAC ADDRESS for one of the desktops and see if it will browse.

If it work, we will know how to narrow down our troubleshooting.


You can check google for how to change MAC address.

the problem with your network connection is that other desktop systems are connecting automatically to the newly installed router and ignoring the default router that is connected to the internet network.the desktop system are confused on the network to connect to.

solution to the problem: click on the network tab on the left of your desktop computer in your office! you will see all the available networks listed there as the TP-LINK can rightly see on the network, select the newly installed router SSID and click on it, there will be an option to disconnect, click to disconnect and the select the former network name(SSID) which normally connects the router to the internet and click on the network SSID, an option to connect will be shown to you. click on connect, if it requires you router pin or pass phrase enter it and you will be connected to the network, repeat same procedure to other desktop systems, it will work perfectly well.

Thanks alot for ur response. I'm thinking that the configuration of the new router is not correct. Cos the desktop computers are very far from where the new routers is situated hence they are not seeing the router, beside the desktop computers are connected through cable and not wifi[qquote author=eazycash post=71785889]I
