[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1833671, member: 396914"] That screenshot looks correct. I just suggested you forget the network because you have, in the past, turned off Automatic and manually assigned an IP, which is playing Russian roulette, network-style. And I think you had the Subnet Mask different from the one displayed in the image, but that post was pretty far back and I may not be remembering correctly. In any event, my thought was to forget the network and start over as if you just showed up for the first time, letting the iDevices and the Router negotiate the connection just like everybody else does. If you have tried that and it doesn't work, then you may well have to just live with it. The cafe is not willing to change, you can't force that, and your iDevices seem to work at other cafes. About all I can think of is to go somewhere else for coffee that works for you. [/QUOTE]
