Re: Stuck on identifying when trying to connect to Apple router
Power cycling the router and modem again gave me an internet connection for a while, but caused my roommate to have the same issue. We were not able to connect at the same time. The ipconfig /all output when I had a connection was as follows:

I downloaded the AirPort Utility for Windows, which helped analyze the problem. The router connected to both of our computers, but the DHCP client list was empty. A reset to factory defaults restored the origial DHCP settings and produced the following ipconfig /all:

My connection seems fine now, although I haven't tested whether we can both connect at the same time now. Thanks for the help.
