2820n - limited connectivity was created by victoria
I upgraded to a vigor 2820n router a few weeks ago to have a stronger connection being in a basement apartment. Several times now when booting the computer up all I get is 'limited connectivity' and can receive local internet only. Sometimes it hooks up after several minutes. The alternative is to disconnect from wireless network, click on the disconnect LAN/ WPS button at the front, click to connect again then connect to network from the computer. Very annoying, very long winded, and makes no sense whatsoever!!! Any suggestions? :roll:

Just download the firmware to a directory on your PC and then use the router functionality to upload the firmware to the router.
