Recently my xbox's connection failed

1.Log into router. Using either 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 in a browser window that is ( internet Explorer or Firefox).
2. Verify wireless router name( on the computer) >>> ( on/off) ( router status window)
3.Note router name you are connecting to.
4.. Check the laptop do ipconfig /all to see current IP addresses.
5. Set the laptop up in the router by WEP KEY or MAC address. This set up in the "security tab" in the router. using 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 to access through a browser.
6.Note router name you are connecting to.
7. Move the laptop/ gaming module about 20ft away and try to log on to the internet.
This is for all routers to set up wirelessly.
8. check for firmware update at the manufacturers site for your model router and the gaming site for the proper ports for play.
You may just have lost connectivity with the server. Check your QOS ( Quality of Service ) in the rotuer settings to assure your wireless connectivity. Wireless gaming console are notorious for dropping connection. You also need to improve your antenna range. There are some DIY antenna templates on line if you do a Google search you will find a lot of them that will give you 20/30% gain.
9. cell phones, cordless phones, digital TV's, can affect the data signal from a router. Also distance from the router can be a factor. If your router is in a basement place the router to a upper floor and center it in the room.

I forgot my password.

Take one Norwegian paper-clip, and straighten one end.
Turn the router off.
Insert the end of the paper-clip into the small hole in the back of the router, and hold it pressed-down for a few seconds.
This will reset the router to its "factory" settings,
including the default password.
Turn the router on, and configure it.

Hello, I have

Hey Chris

This kinds of issues are coming from the firmware of your router. So what you need to do is to upgrade the firmware of your router and make sure that you use a wired computer to do that. After the upgrade make sure that you reset the valet for about 1 minute. Just reconfigure the router so that it will be in sync with the modem. Usually with brighthouse, it will just go online right away.

The Setup CD does not automatically start.
  • If Belkin Setup does not run when you insert the CD-ROM, your computer may not be configured to open CDs automatically.
  • If Belkin Setup does not appear within 15 seconds, browse to your CD-ROM drive and open the "Belkin Setup" icon.
  • Alternatively, you may visit HYPERLINK "http://router/" or "192.168.2.1" and perform the setup manually. Belkin Setup cannot find my Router.
If Belkin Setup is not able to communicate with your router during the installation process, please check the following items.
  • Make sure that the wireless hardware on your computer is turned on, if available.
  • Try connecting your computer to one of the four "wired" ports on the Router with an Ethernet cable.
  • Ensure that the Router is on. The front panel LED should be lit.
  • Unplug the Router's power supply for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. There may be firewall software on your computer preventing an outgoing connection. You may choose to temporarily disable this software before attempting setup.

I just purchased a Belkin Router and two nights

You still have a connection with a desktop at home,right? If not you'll need to do the following with your laptop connected by ethernet.
I can give you advice based on my experience,I think it's similar.
Where I live the power goes out a lot in the Summer due to weather. If it's out for very long,the router defaults to factory settings.
Since you just bought your router you still have the default info for setup on Belkin's sight. You need to go back there and set up your internet and network settings again.Right now your router isn't aware that you have a network. You can use the same SSID and security settings and key,you just have to tell the router at Belkin setup. The url to type into your browser is:
http://192.168.2.1
If this helps,would you rate my post please?
Thanks
Bob
