Earlier today my sky router stopped working through wifi. My Xbox works fine through an Ethernet cable but neither my mrs or I get any access on our phones, except strangely enough to the google homepage Any ideas?

So you can still connect to the wifi as such but it's giving page errors to everything apart from google?

Reboot the router is the first thing I'd try
I've recently had a shitty netgear router give up allowing clients to associate to the wireless on it, it was only serving an office of 4 though so I just banged an access point onto the network!

Yeah I've reset it umpteen times Turns out even when wired, my computer won't load anything but google
To summarise, the fucker will load google, can use the search engine but can't open anything else. Xbox works as it should too

My O2 router did this, flashed it and factory reset it. Made no odds. Just called them up and got a new one off them.

You sure you've not got some kind of DNS outage in the area? How long has it been going on for?

Try changing your computers' DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Drop kick sounds good to me
The router settings on the computer or the computer itself?
