On the home/status page, do you get Line Rate and Default Gateway address or are they blank?

You should be getting internet access if you are getting a default gateway address. 111.69.7.69 indicates you are connected to the 2degrees broadband network.

 

 

Double check you haven't set any static IP configuration (e.g. hard-coded DNS server addresses) on your devices. In Windows make sure the TCP/IP configuration for your LAN adapter in particular IP address and DNS server addresses are set to obtain automatically.
