Hi, I have purchased a Belkin G+ router and set it up at my friends house for him. I followed the instructions provide with the router correctly and the software tells me that the network has been set up fine, however, when I try to connect a laptop or other wi-fi deviCe to the network, it cannot be found. Why is this? I have used and set up the same router at mY house fine and it work perfectly so I don't understand what is happening. I AM trying to use it with a Virgin Media modem.

No PC told. vast PCs then had no wifi card until you added it.
AT HOME ALL PC'S AND TV FAIL, EVEN CELL PHONES SET TO WIFI, WORK?
that's easy avoid Belkin , buy netgear?
1: disable WPS and PIN
2: disable wwlan ping (do no allow this)
3: disable ports WWLAN side. to you, set firewall to defaults in router yes.
4: do not allow wep or ad_Hoc mode wifi
5:use only wpa2 or 3, not wpa1.(unless must)
if all you have is old PC/TV at wpa1 theN set this mode wpa1/2.
6: use A long PW, no words in it, seen in a dictionary. eg 7VPX2B9YBQ, or better, mixed is better, said to hyjacker
the safe reset the router (power cord pulled 15second or more and put back.
if router was bought used it needs the long reset button pushed as the manual to it states.
the long reset, puts the router to factrpy new state.
then in router settings:
and enable wifi in the router & DHCP
set DNS to 1.1.1.1 secondary, 8.8.8.8
set wifi page SSID . use a name only you know. SSID is your brodcasted name do set hidden here.
like Rover6 , dogs name etc.
exit save
wait for save to finsh it can take a minute.
the cycle power or router, (power cord pulled)
make sure router works PC wired to router with ethernet , and wifl last. testing.
then at any PC or TV see your SSID broadcasted name. see it now connect.
BTW:
Today new routers are pre=configured out of the box new, and wifi is working, the PW and SSID
is on bottom sticker label.
yer what larry said ... go in manually into router via a blue cable called ethernet cat 5 patch cable between laptop and back of router.
turn on Wi Fi
set up dhcp server
go to 192.168.0.1 on a broswer
