Keep losing internet signal

I have cable internet. My modem is a motorola surfboard(brand new from cable company) My router is a Belkin wireless G plus mimo part # F5D9230-4. I have a ps3 and a seen laptop connected to my router. When i am on my ps3 it loses connection and so does my computer. I've seen the router lose internet signal for a couple seconds and then come back on. Even though it doesn't mess with the computer unless the webcam is on it disconnects me from the playstation network. I've been in contact with the cable company, Belkin, and also Sony. Sony says open up some ports and call the router manufacture. Belkin says put your ps3 in the DMZ and call the cable company. The cable company says call the router. I feel like its a big *********** cause each company is trying to put the blame on someone else and not getting this problem solved. I've done all the steps that they say and it still does it almost right after i get off the phone with them. WILL SOMEONE PLEEEEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!

    I have a F5D9230 Route from Belkin and am having exactly the same trouble when connecting with Virgin. It works normally when I plug my Route straight into the ethernet port on the PC though

    I have a Trendnet router and a verizon modem and a Dell PC. I cannot keep the signal going to use the internet. I also have a laptop and xbox live in the house. Boy is this frustrating. I was on the tech support almost all day yesterday. I thought it was fixed. The internet connection lasted about an hour and then it was gone again. Anybody have any ideas?

Have you tried updating the firmware of your router? Updating the firmware of the router will fix that issue. Make sure after updating the router's firmware, hard reset the router. To hard reset it, Press the reset button on the back of the router for about 20 seconds, then unplug the power for 30 seconds then plug it back. Reconfigure the wireless settings of the router. Make sure to change the wireless channel of the router to channel 11 or 1 and not 6 to avoid interference.

How do i connect belkin n300 wireless router to motorola surfboard SB5101 cable modem?

The ISP modem (cable) connects to wireless (yellow port) PC and other devices connect to any port available on wireless. This is the standard setup.

How to set up the wireless internet connect on my laptop to this new SBG901 modem?

Short answer: YOU DO NOT.

The cable-modem just converts from the cable-company's signals to/from Ethernet signals.

You use an Ethernet cable to connect the output from the cable-modem to the 'WAN' (or 'Internet') port on a router with wireless capabilities. Then, you configure the router to create your own wireless network, with:
* an SSID ("network name")
* encryption level (use: WPA)
* a password for your network

Then, your wireless device can cite the SSID/password to authenticate to the router.

I cant get my motorola sb5101 surf board cable modem to connect to a belkin g wireless router. the light on the belkin flashes orange when i try to connect it to the modem but no internet connection

I have a similar problem. The common denominator seems to be the SB5101. I have a brand new Belkin Surf 300N, same issue. The modem will not give DHCP to the router. I can connect fine via ethernet to the modem directly.
This modem seems to be a dinosaur.

I want internet on the other side of house

In order for you to accomplish that goal what you need to buy is a wireless router that can be located on the other side of your house so computers there can have internet access wired or wirelessly connected to the router. You can get a wireless router from Linksys, Netgear , Dlink or Belkin.

Trying to get my ps3 connected so i can get online

You need to disable the UPnP function on the Belkin router. Log into the router(192.168.2.1), and look under System Settings. If you haven't changed the password on the router, the default password is blank, i.e., no password.

Motorola Surfboard 4220 not working with my Netgear WGT624 router

Make sure that you have the ethernet cord from your modem plugged into the WAN/Internet port on your router. Then unplug the power cord from your cable modem and plug it right back in. After the modem fully comes back online, unplug the power cord on the wireless router and plug it back in. wait 30 - 60 sec and then try and connect.

Most cable companies only allow one active"CPE" at a time for internet access. All this means is when you change what is connected to the cable modem you must always reboot the cable modem to allow access.


Hope this helps. Let me know if it does not work.

Please rate.

Can I use my router just as a Wireless router with a DSL .

i doubt it will work. most times the cable companies give you a modem/router all in one box. the problem is there in no inbound connection to recieve an internet signal other than the cable cord connection. with the dsl modem you will need a seperate router. they cost around $40-50 on avg

Losing connection

I assume this is a cable modem? You need to call your cable company and have a trouble ticket created. I worked for the cable company installing cable for quite a while and I bet my paycheck the signal getting to the modem are below specs and that's why the modem gets dropping the internet connection.

Hope this helps.
