b.Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?

If the IP address of the Wireless Mobile Router is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of the computer must be from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.254 and the default gateway must be 192.168.2.1. Also ensure that all clients are configured same SSID, and encryption for wireless communications is set up.
