Question about Belkin (F5D5231-4) Router

1 Answer

Connection issues My belkin router won't work with my laptop. I installed this about 1yr ago and was working fine. Now all of a sudden the "Connect" light won't go on. Power button is green, WLAN button is green. Lan 2&4 are orange. WAN is off. Is there a quick fix to this? The Belkin icon on my laptop is green and it shows a connection but I can't get online. Thanks

Retain your password and user name if any, go into routers set up browser to find this. Press the reset button on back of unit with a pen tip. Go to your pc's and go into properties of your network cards and in the internet TCP/IP properties ensure obtain IP address automatically is selected. Go back into the routers settings (normally 192.168.2.1 in your web browser.) Make sure DHCP is enabled to automatically assign IP addresses. Type in any password and user name. Also check the cables as an orange light means either no connection or only 10 Mbps instead of the normal 100Mbps. If you still have trouble you may need to clear the DNS settings so go to Start then Run and type:- ipconfig /flushdns then press enter.(note the gap between ipconfig and the /).

I had to put my computer back to factory settings and now my Belkin wont go on wireless.It does work if i plug cable in.Is there anything i can do?
HI,
I see you set Windows back to defaults as you mentioned and now your Router will not go Wireless.
First Restoring Windows Back to Factory Defaults will not reset your Routers Settings to Defaults together with Windows.
So Most Probably the issue is since you restored windows back to factory defaults you may need to install the Wireless Driver again on the Machine / Computer to make your computers wireless card work again and be able to detect and connect to your Belkin Router.
try a difefernt device that can connect wireless to your Router or maybe a different Laptop to see if the Belkin is working fine wireless.
If any other Laptop will not detect the Belkin then try turning the Wireless Radio ON again in the Router Settings of Belkin.
But I suggest to check all your system drivers if installed for it to be wireless capable again on the issue, Restoring Windows back to Default will not change anything in the Belkin Router. I believe this is a Driver issue on the Wireless card of your Computer.
You mentioned the system does work if plugged in Wired right, check your drivers install every driver that needs to be installed from the Manufacturer Website of your Computer for proper and compatible drivers.
Have a nice day.

All green lights are on but laptop can't connect
With your laptop, you must in any event turn off, DHCP, START>>RUN>>services.msc enter... then scroll down to DHCP, and set to OFF, & Disabled. Check that hasn't somehow been re-enabled. You may just have to note down your settings and re-setup your router again... then using the connect to internet wizard, use that to connect to router, this will re-initialize everything.

Router won't connect to the internet
I managed to figure it out. I had to clone the MAC address to get the router to connect to the Internet.

I still have another problem though, my laptop still won't connect to the router. I'm using Vista, is this a possible network adapter issue? My laptop is fine at connecting to other wireless networks round my friend's houses/libraries...
