I purchased a used belkin router and my lap top wireless sees the modem but the wireless isnt conecting to the internet and the modem and internet are blinking

yes you connect your modem , via ethernet to the back of router

well you can fix such kind of problems via contacting to belkin tech support. for more help you may visit: Belkin Tech Support Helpline

When there is limited connectivity check if the laptop gets an IP address from the router. ELse try configuring it manually. Restart the laptop if necessary.

Please rate if helpful.

Thanks

Wireless light will lit up only if any wireless computer is connected to Belkin's wireless network.
First, connect to Belkin's wireless network that you can scan.
After you connect, try to go online
It ll work...

Faulty power supply / router switch.

If both of the computers do not have wireless capabilities, then you will have to purchase an adaptor for each. See a picture here:

You mentioned that the home computer has internet but you must implement wireless internet into the home by adding a router. See picture:

This hooks directly to the modem box that was provided by your internet service and makes the connection become wireless.

This can be quite costly, I recommend checkiing eBay for the router and two adaptors as this can save you money.

PS I put Belkin brand but there are different brands such as Linksys, netgear, etc. With Neatgear being cheaper and Linksys being more expensive.

There sould be an icon on the botom right of your scren right click it and say view avalibe wirless networks. Then you would find your network and say conect if it is protected by a WEP password it is on the botom or the side of you router.

Hi,
Try the manual method.connect router to pc with ethernet cable
1.logon to 192.168.0.1
2.Connection type ; PPPOE
3.type in your username@ISp and pass
4.Save settings
5.Configure wireless setting(SSID,Wep)
Configure pc with the same SSID and WEP
uplug the ethernet cable and check if your are able t connect wireless

if you still have issue use this guide

Cheers !!!

the internet cable should be connected to the "Internet" or "WAN" port on the router. Your PC should be connected to one of the regular ports on the back of the router and your laptop can be connected just like the pc, or it can connect wirelessly.

Then you should be able to see the internet from your laptop.
