I have the Belkin Wireless N router, which is showing the blinking amber light for modem and won't connect to the internet. I tried unplugging and resetting both the modem and the router which didn't help.

Turn everything off. I mean everything. That is, turn off the computer, the router, and the modem, unplug them, and disconnect them from each other. If the modem has a battery, remove it if you can so it shuts completely off. Wait a few minutes, then BEFORE YOU POWER ON, reconnect the signal cables... modem to router, router to PC. Then replace the battery/turn on your modem, plug your power back into your router, then turn on your PC. Hope this helps.

If you don't have a PPoE password from your ISP, then just connect the ISP modem to the main port on the router. Then connect a PC with a network cable. This should work, if not try connecting the modem directly to the PC to test.
If you get internet with just the modem, then try resetting the router.

Blinking amber light on modem icon

that means there is usually a problem with your modem. you know how to hook up a router, right? usually you unplug power from both devices, plug in your modem and let it load, then plug in your router. (with some isp's id will work the other way around.

Belkin n wirelss router setup

To setup the router you will need to log in to your router's control panel. This certainly won't be as simple as on the installer disc, yet it is still do-able. You might also want to contact Belkin's free technical support hot line. They can help you set it up with the method I described above.

Ineed to know what blue light tells me that my router is working?

Hi jackmyrtue,

Here's what the lights on the front indicate:

A. Wireless Security

OFF Wireless security is off
Solid Blue Wireless security is on

B. Wireless-Computer Status

OFF Wireless computer is not present
Solid Blue Wireless computer is connected to the Router
Blinking Amber Problem with wireless computer onnecting properly to the Router

C. Wired-Computer Status

OFF Wired computer is not present
Solid Blue Wired computer is connected to the Router
Blinking Amber Problem with wired computer connecting properly to the Router

D. Router/Power Status

When you apply power to the Router or restart it, a short period of time elapses while the Router boots up. During this time, the "router" icon blinks.
When the Router has completely booted up, the "router" icon becomes a solid light, indicating the Router is ready for use.
OFF Router is off
Blinking Blue Router is booting up
Solid Blue Router is on and ready

E. Modem Status

This icon lights in blue to indicate that your modem is connected properly to the Router.
It turns amber when problem is detected.
OFF Router is NOT connected to modem
Solid Blue Router is connected to modem and functioning properly
Blinking Amber Problem with modem

F. Internet Status
This unique icon shows you when the Router is connected to the

Internet. When the light is off, the Router is NOT connected to the Internet.
When the light is blinking amber, the Router is attempting to connect to the Internet.
When the light is solid blue, the Router is connected to the Internet.

When using the "Disconnect after x minutes" feature, this icon becomes extremely useful in monitoring
the status of your Router’s connection.

OFF Router is NOT connected to the Internet
Blinking Amber Router is attempting to connect to the Internet
Solid Blue Router is connected to the Internet

I hope this helps figure out your PS3 issue.

Thanks and don't forget to leave a rating.

Mark
