I bought the belkin play router and it says it cant find a connection to my verizon modem. Help

Hi

Though Belkin play router has a USB port on it, it would not accept the input via that port there by you can not connected the USB connection from Verizon to the router. You need to switch from USB connection to Ethernet connection on the Verizon modem contacting verizon.

>They're just trying to escape from their responsibility
>you know why?
>if that's what's happening, it means that the modem is NO longer on Bridged Mode
>router's won't worked if the modem is not bridged
>since it is a verizon provided modem they should be able to help you out.
Here's the right script to tell them:
>"i'm calling in to ask help in setting my Verizon Provided modem to Bridged Mode."
>it is also advisable to Unplug the belkin router first. i'm sorry this tip is not that helpful but working with an ISP before I know what are scope of support is ?
>comments ratings suggestions and violent reaction will greatly be appreciated

It was working with Verizon. verizon is a DSL company and Comcast is a CABLE company. settings will be different for both the ISPs. Make sure that your computer is able to go online directly through the modem.
If your computer is able to go online through the modem, that means the modem is working fine.
You will need to connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
open the set up page of the router and change the settings of the router according to the ISP.

depending on ur internet service provider, u should change the connection type to dynamic (comcast, time warner, cable vision) or PPPoE if u have a user name and password for ISP's like AT&T and verizon

You can Open the Router Setup And configure the connection Manually

If you can tell the name of your internet service provider then i may be able to help you

Wellll....since it seemed an impossible task, I tried the next best thing.
I bought a wireless adapter for the other pc and voila! they are on the internet, and I am returning the router.

Westell modem + Verizon DSL w/usb = No connection to router.

• If you bypass the router and connects your computer directly to the your DSL modem, do you have a stable Internet connection in your computer?
• If you do, you may reset and reconfigure your Belkin router.
• You may also do a firmware upgrade on your router.

Hope this helps!

Normally, connect pc with router, and modem off. Turn on the desktop and then turn on the modem and router. letting the modem and router assign ip addresses to all connected devices.

You may have a phone line connected from the modem to a wall outlet. Count the number of cables coming out of your modem - you should have only three: the power cable (connects to the wall), Cat 5 (also connects to the wall), and ethernet (running from the modem to the router).

i would suggest returning the router and/or purchase a modem router, as it does away with all the connection problems and the need to click dial to connect as a modem router is always on and does not require a main pc to be on. It will also probably be cheaper than buying a seperate modem.
