    Kindly explain the setup.. like no of PCs wires & wireless? ISP? Router Model?

    Could you explain further what your issue is? As far as I understand you're trying to connect to the router from a computer through a wireless connection, yet you're having trouble doing it. Is that correct?

    If not, please explain in more detail what you're asking.

How many computers are you using?
Are they all wired or wireless ?
Steps
1. Your modem should be connected to the wired port of the router
2.Your computers should be connected from the the other blue ports on the back of the router
3. Now open up the set up page by typing in 192.168.2.1
4. on the top right hand corner you"ll see your status connected or no connection
5. if status is no connection
6. click on restore factory default and let it reboot
7. now comes one more important question what is the version no of the router
8. it is a 4 digit no like 1000,2000.......7000
9. If ver is 7000 then definately go to the site www.belkin.com/support and download firmware version 9.01.10 for ver 7000 or similar
10. On your router setup page select firmware update and load the file
10.Should resolve your issue specially if your isp connection is cable like comcast etc
11. then reconfigure by using connection type
clonig mac address if cable or entering u/name password if dsl
12. also change the channell to 11 as that gives the best reception wirelessly

Should fix the problem definitely but it could have been easier if i knew your exact version no, modem isp,(cable or dsl) , type of computers (wired or wireless) etc . Make of computers (mac or windows) .You can even access other computers wirelessly but you have to connect to your network on the wireless computer.

Losing internet connection

  • Move closer to the Wi-Fi router / hotspot. In case of suspected interference - move your router in a different place
  • Update your network adapter drivers and modem / router firmware by checking the manufacturers' websites.
  • Power cycle (restart) your router, smartphone and computer.
  • Check the cable that runs into your modem / router and the one that connects that to your computer.
  • If on a public Wi-Fi network, connect to another one.
Ultimately, you can contact your ISP about the Internet drops - they might be having a temporary issue

I cant seem to connect them to each other and to the hard wired internet

Connect what? Plug the ethernet cable(cat5- fat phone plug) into whatever and then into the router in the first available slot and repeat this process for every device. Make sure your router is plugged in and has internet connection. Good luck

I think you will need to reconfigure the router.
You can access the Internet when you connect the computer to the modem. That means the modem is working fine.
Connect the modem to the Internet port on the router and computer to port 1 on the router. Press and hold the reset button on the rotuer for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.
Follow this link to reconfigure the router.

While the router is connected to your computer try and switch it off and on.

Using a wireless g router f5d7230

Can't Connect to Internet

there is a need to reconfigure your router to work with your modem. If configured already before, then there is great chance that this has been set back to factory default.
