Internet with new service provider isn't working on my laptop?
Ok here's the deal. Today I switched my ISP from Verizon Fios to Bright House. I haven't returned my Verizon equipment yet. When testing my Bright House connection, the internet works on my iPhone 5 and PS3. However, when I connect through my laptop it doesn't load any websites, but the Verizon router does. I called technical support and the woman said there was nothing wrong with the router/modem because she was getting a ping/response after resetting it (obviously) but she couldn't help me in getting my laptop to work with it. I'm really not sure what to do.I've tried restarting my laptop, logging off and on, and deleting the wireless profiles and adding new ones, etc. I've tried loading websites in Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer to no avail. Some other info I'm running Windows 7 and when I click the network symbol in the bottom right corner of the screen, it says its connected to the Bright House router with 'Internet Access' and an excellent wi-fi signal.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

- Will factory unlocking my iPhone break its contract with my service provider? I bought the iPhone 5 for $199.It's on contract, so it's not only locked to AT&T for two years, but I'm required to pay monthly for the use of this phone for two years. I'm interested in buying the factory unlock on ebay, but I want to know if the contract is going to break with AT&T.
- Why isn't my internet on my laptop working? DNS server? My internet on the home computer is working and my iPhone is working as well. On my laptop it says that I'm connected to my network. However, when I try to open up Chrome or Firefox, it won't connect to any pages. Chrome keeps saying that DNS server isn't available. Does anyone know hwo to help?
- What service provider would be best for unlocked iPhone 5 from AT&T? I currently have my unlocked iPhone 5 with tmobile and the service is garbage. No Internet at all and I'm paying 70 a month. My phone is from AT&T dose anybody know what's the best service provider I can switch too?
- What are my options if I don't want the internet service provider that my apt complex uses? Just moved into an apartment complex that uses at&t. Well… I refuse, absolutely refuse, to use at&t again after the most horrendous customer servicer experience I have ever encountered. I'm currently tethering my iphone for a hot spot, but obviously that can get costly. Also, my phone isn't getting good reception in here so it's killing all my data. Any thoughts or suggestions?
