digging through this site, I found two more suggestions for this sort of problem
1. Disable and enable the icd2. I'm not at all familiar with unix or Linux so I don't know how to do that. Help on how to do it?
2. Set a fixed ip for the N800. I will have to play around with it but I was wondering (sorry if this seems lame) if it is actually possible to set a fixed ip for the N800 in its advanced settings while leaving the router set to DHCP. In other words, by setting the fixed ip on the N800 does that just mean that the N800 requests/insists on this ip address when it makes contact with the router and all the other devices on my network will be able to continue to get a random ip assigned?

Then I scanned for unprotected WLANs in my area. Found one and voila! I was able to connect to the poor guy's network and was able to surf. Of course that is not a solution but it tells me that the problem is either with the Zyxel router or using WPA-PSA and diablo.
So you mean that I have to assign a fixed ip for the N800 via the router software as well as in the N800 connection set up? thx
UPDATE: Ok I tried setting fixed ip on router and it still didn't work! Now what?
