TrueMobile 1184 Problem
I have been using the Dell TrueMobile 1184 Wireless Router for some time it has worked great up until about a month ago. I can't connect to the internet anymore, my d-link card that i use can see the router and i can access the router's homepage to change settings and i have tried numerous things to get a connection through my wireless card to the internet, but none work.
To get here i connected the cable that had previously been connected to my router straight to my cpu. I have tried releasing and renewing my ip. I have tried to specify my ip address to no avail. I upgraded the firmware and have reset the device countless times. I used to have it 128 bit encrypted but that doesnt work either. I am very frustrated and any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I use WinXP home by the way. I also have the inspiron 8200 laptop if that info might help too.

I have had the same problem.
I have tried for hours to reconnect by resetting the router, re installing the software, resetting the configurations. The only thing that I can think of, is the router is bad. The wireless connection to the router is good, but the router is not communicating with my DSL modem. There was an electrical storm in my area. Not sure if that has anyting to do with it. When I plug my DSL connection directly to my computer everything is fine.
If there is anyone who has any suggestions, please post.

Do you have Comcast Broadband Internet connection? That was my problem. Comcast changed something about 3 weeks ago. What ever they changed the Dell 1184 router would not work. Comcast changes the ISP every couple hours and the 1184 can't handle it. I've heard Dell was the only one having problems and Comcast was working on a fix. That was 3 weeks ago and I still haven't heard anything from them.
Last week I purchased a Dell 2300 wireless router and everything is working fine.

My connection has been working for three days now. My fear is that they will change my IP address soon (my lease expires friday), and I will have to reconfigure my router again. Now that it is working, I've just left my modem and router on 24hrs/day to maintain my lease.
