    I setup the dual band Airport extreme station a few weeks ago and my Macbooks Pros have been working no problems. Blazing speeds.

    When it comes to my 2 desktop PCs, though, a lot of problems.

    My one PC connects and says it is connected, but the internet does not work. The page does not display at all.

    My other PC (which Im on right now), also connects, but only Firefox works. IE does not display the page. I think FIrefox does work on both PCs, I just dont have it installed on the first one to verify.

    What is going on?? Even my iphone works flawlessly.

    hard to say with such limited info...

    can the windows machines ping anything via command line? is it only IE not working? do any other internet using apps work besides firefox?

    If its only IE, it could just be some setting in IE.

    On the PC with FIrefox working, MSN messenger, itunes can all connect with no problems.

    So what setting in IE could be the problem?

    Sounds like its just an issue with that computer not working with IE. Run some virus scans to check for issues. Malwarebytes is a popular one. No router can cause JUST IE not to work. It is impossible.
