I had comcast put their modem into bridge mode to connect to DLink which connects to a Netgear router setting up wireless for multiple devices throughout the house. Only 2 computers are wired direct to dlink and they won't connect to the internet. What do I do?

If you want useful answers you will need to provide more information, like the models on all three units.

How far is the D-Link from the Comcast modem, and is it a modem or a combination gateway?

Do you have only one device providing DHCP service?

NetGear49, DLink DGS-2208, and Comcast Arris TG862 combination gateway modem/router. The Arris connects to the DLink. Two computers are directly connected to the DLink as well as a NetGear router which brings wireless access to the other end of the house. The far end receiving the wireless signal from the NetGear works fine. The 2 computers connected directly to the DLink say the LAN has no IP address and it can't renew it. Comcast says they bridged the Arris effectively turning off the router so we use the DLink then they said they won't talk to me because it's not their equipment. This is the same equipment I had that worked perfect before they insisted on updating their modem which caused the problem but they
