My Pi won't connect to the internet. Everything was fine until my TalkTalk Huawei router died and I replaced it with a TP-Link TL-WR841ND. Now the networking is OK but no internet.
The Pi gets it's IP settings at boot time through 'ip=dhcp' in cmdline.txt from the WR841. It is a reserved address on the router so it always gets the same, 10.96.19.99 (as was with the Huawei). There are no IP conflicts on the network.
That works fine. The Pi boots over the network from a share on my NAS drive - that also works without problem.
I can access all of the shared resources on my network, NAS shares, printers etc.
The various PCs, Xbox, tablets and smart phones in the house, some of which are WiFi others are hard wired, have total internet access, no problem.
Now it gets weird; I can connect to the configuration pages on the router from the Pi but it is so desperately slow it's unreal. Perhaps two minutes to make the connection then probably the same for each page. It's almost instantaneous from a PC.
And, of course, no internet access whatsoever. apt-get fails to find the various archive sites and none of the browsers I have loaded will access web pages not on my network. Web pages on the network all appear to suffer the same speed issues as WR841.
The only thing I have noticed that I don't quite understand is that it has registered the router as a name server, which it isn't but then I access the local web pages by ip address rather than by name so it shouldn't need to look for a name server.
Does anyone out there have any bright ideas about what may be going on. I'm stumped!!!
