so i live in somekind of appartment and if i wan to use my internet i have to buy my own router

so i buy 1, they gave me ip,dns,netmask,gateway for the main router in the building and it works.

the problem is my wifi antena recently broke and i ended up using another router but when i enterd all the ip setings i cant ping the appartment router. i try to ping other people router an i can ping them. the only one i cant ping is the main router. i tried to change mac addres to the old one but it didnt work.

sorry for bad english and story telling, thanks

Did you talk to the IT people of the apartment?

If they are running this setup they likely have port security or other measures setup so it is rejecting the new router that has not been added to the list of accepted devices on the main router.
