Are you sure your hubby is picking up the wireless from his phone or is he just getting a signal from a cell phone tower?
The reason I ask is that once you hit the button to set the router back to the factory default, the wireless on the router is turned off.
You have to go into the router and enable the wireless and give it a SSID (unless you want the Dlink default) and you have to give it a password if you want it secured.
Try resetting the router. This WILL ERASE your current settings, wireless password, etc. But is likely to fix your problem.
On the back of your router there should be a "reset" button. You'll probably need a pen or something long and skinny to press the button with. Hold down Reset button for 5 seconds.
Give it a minute or two, then you should see the wireless network appear. It will be a different name then it was before, and you need to re-setup your router configuration, to change the network name and the wireless password.
Thanks for using FixYa.
You should reset your router by sticking a pin in the pin hole on the back.
Once reset, reconnect a LAN cable and then reconfigure the wireless network.
If you keep having trouble connecting, try changing the channel your wireless network is being broadcast on.
I have experienced the same issue with belkin routers. First, test your laptop with other wireless connections {e.g. Starbucks, McDonalds, etc..} to see if your laptop's wireless adapter is working okay. If so then it sounds like your Belkin Router needs to be reset to the factory defaults and then your personal wireless network settings re-entered.
If restarting the router and restarting computer did not work (unplug both power cables), then you need to log into the router and check network settings.
To log into router type the router IP on internet explore bar, then enter user id and password. You find details on how to do this, IP and passwords listed on the owner manual.
If wireless security settings on router are fine, then you can reset router to factory default using the pinhole switch. You will need to enter all your broadband settings to have the router working afterward.
Linksys wireless router has many bugs: connection issues like no connection or constantly having to reset the router. It isn't compatible with many network adapters. Hope this helps!
Since your laptop is working fine with another wireless network , so it only means the problem here is with the router, you can try first to reset the , to reset it Press and hold the reset button for 15 seconds then after that you need to run the setup CD for the router to reconfigure it back.....
Try to manually "Add device to network" by using the wireless setup wizard. Check to see if the Wireless Zero Configuration service is "Running" before trying to add device. Yuo may also want to disable IPv6 in vista tcp/ip properties page.
