No connection on one PC after firmware upgrade

[NExile]

System: Asus N66U router, two Intel PCs with Intel ethernet adapters

Hi,

just upgraded to RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_376.49_5.

Did factory reset/power cycle/factory reset AFTER flashing firmware.

PC that I flashed from: connects fine.

Another PC on network, Windows 7, Intel ethernet adapter: no connectivity.

Says it is now on a "public network", won't let me alter it.

I googled various solutions, none worked.

As far as I can recall, this is the first time I have flashed new firmware and had an issue like this. (Used to be active in DD WRT forums, Tomato, etc. Merlin is pretty awesome.)

But: I don't know what I did here.

Help?

Thank you!

On the PC, go the the wi-fi signals and tell the PC "to forget" this ssid.
After that reconnect.

Hi,

I forgot to mention: hard wired with Monoprice Cat6 cables, no wireless.

I got it working again.

Very strange: I had the DHCP pool set to 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.22: when I finally got into the Asus firmware, that had been changed to

from 192.168.1.2 to: 192.168.1.2 i.e. only one DHCP address was available.

I am not sure how that happened, but it's probably something I did or set wrong. (Again, I did "factory reset/clear NVRAM" after flashing the newest Merlin firmware, then reentered all setting by hand, not from a saved configuration file.)

Anyway, thank you!
