I bought this router 2 days ago. I pluged in the phone socket (with micro filter), and into mains,it worked perfectly on my daughters' (each daughter has a laptop - all work)laptops, and one of my desktop PC, but it does not work on my old Toshiba Satellite A60 laptop (with build in wireless). The status says it connected and signal strenth is excellent, but I cannot open a browser, so cannot get on internet. why?
1) Make sure there is no low-pass filter from the phone line to the wall - it should be directly connected.
2) The laptop issue has nothing to do with the wireless router if it's actually connected. Try pinging the router. Open the command prompt. type ipconfig. Look at the laptop's IP address and the gateway. Try pinging the gateway (ie ping 192.168.1.1). If the ping works, the connection is fine.
3) Can you open a browser window but not connect to a web page? This is due to a connectivity issue. If you can't even open a web page for whatever reason, its a problem with the laptop, not the connection. Hope this helps.

I update my Dell Studio Desktop from Vista to Window 7. Now I cannot get an Internet connection because Window 7 cannot see or recognize this Belkin driver. When I go to Control Panel and then Device Manager, there is a yellow icon beside the Ethernet Controller. How can I get this Ethernet Controller driver from the Internet?
