Belkin54g router will not work with cable modem....but it works fine with the dsl modem ....all lights are on it just won,t go through the router. do i need a different router ?

did you try 192.168.1.1 and 10.0.0.1?

Unplug both your DSL/Cable Modem, and the Router from power. Wait 30 seconds. Plug in power to DSL/Cable Modem only, and wait for it to connect. then plug in power to Router, and wait for it to start up. Give it about 1 min. If the lights are still not on, you may need to reconfigure your router. If this does not work, connect your cable/DSL modem to your computer directly, and power cycle it again. Once it is online, check to see if you can get online, if you cannot, contact your internet service provider, as you have ruled out a problem with the router.

When there is limited connectivity check if the laptop gets an IP address from the router. ELse try configuring it manually. Restart the laptop if necessary.

Please rate if helpful.

Thanks

Your new ISP is DSL. the router was working before with the cable modem. The settings for the cable and DSL ISP are different. Now your computer is working when you connect it directly to the DSL modem. that means the modem is working.
The DSL modem works on 2 different modes.
You will need to check which mode is your modem working on and according to the settings of your modem you will need to set up the router.
To change the settings of the router, you will need to open the set up page of the router.
Click Here for more information about the router set up.

Try this:

Connect the modem to the router, and the router to the computer.

Pull the power cord out of the Modem.

Pull the power cord out of the Router.

Wait 10 seconds.

Plug in the modem, and wait untill all the lights go steady (ususally a minute or two)

Plug in the router.

Check your connection. Ask for more help if this doesn't work.

Unplug both devices,and remove the cable/dsl line input to modem, wait 5 minutes, plug cable back it, then turn on modem, wait a minute, then plug in router.The signals should mesh.If not, buy a new router, theyre cheap!~

Don't worry about the lost cd. Router will still work even without the setup disc. What is the model # of your router? What is your internet provider, Cable or DSL? For cable ISP, you'll just need to connect the Cable Modem to the Internet port on the back of the router, and your PC connect it to port number 1 on the router as well. Now try to power cycle all devices by unplugging the power to the router and the modem. Wait for 30 secs. Power on the cable modem first and wait for the lights to go steady then power on the router. Check if the internet works fine. If you're on DSL, you can do the same steps first. Otherwise, post your feedback.

hello!

-- what is the operating system of your computer?
-- is the router working fine before or is it a brand new router

you may try this and see if this help solve your problem. make sure your computer is directly connected to the router

Step 1: Shutdown the computer.
Step 2: reset the router while power on then Unplug the router’s power cable.
Step 3: Unplug the Broadband modem’s power cable and wait for 30 seconds.
Step 4: Plug in the Broadband modem’s power cable and wait for its lights to appear stable.
Step 5: Plug in the router's power cable once the modem’s lights appear stable.
Step 6: Power on the computer on and configure the router settings
Step 7: test the Internet connection.

if this still didnot work, upgrade the firmware of your router

note:

configuring the router settings will depends who is your provider. if your isp is dsl you need to configure your ISP username and password on the router. if your router is a cable no need to change any settings on the router. it should automatically work

I just worked on one of these today. Try this and see if it helps.

1. Unplug your cable or DSL modem and your wireless router

2. Plug back in the cable or DSL modem and wait for the internet to successfully connect (watch the lights).

3. Plug the wireless router back in again and wait for it to connect (again, watching the lights)


If this doesn't work, make sure you have the equipment plugged-in in the right order.

cable or dsl signal goes to modem ==> modem plugs into wireless router ===> computer plugs into wireless router.

first connect the devices in this way
from us inter net modem to belkin routers inter net port connect a ether net cable rj45-->then connect another ether net cable rj45 from pc to -->ethernet port on teh belkin router>and reboot the router and modem if u r using cable inter net then immediatly that will work>and open a browser window type this in address bar http://192.168.2.1 u can see the belkin login screen and follow this link
