I am currently using a dsl internet connection and have recently installed a belkin router. when i try to get on the internet using dsl and the router it is unable to connect. however, sometimes i can unplug power to the dsl box and power to the router and wait a few minutes and plug the dsl box back up wait a few minutes, plug the router power on and wait a few minutes and it might work. to me it sounds like there is a problem communicating between the dsl box and the router. i can always unplug power to the router and have internet cable just through the dsl box. any help is greatly appreciated!
If you can get your hands on a Linksys router, or any brand other than Belkin, give it a try and see if the problem is still there.

Assuming you are connecting wirelessly; you may have to check that the router is allocating ip addresses automatically to your pc's. connect one of your pc's to the router via the RJ45 network cable that was supplied and not wirelessly and type 192.168.2.1 in your internet browser, this will take you into the routers setup menu. Look for a menu refering to 'DHCP' and make sure that this is enabled, then look for the channel number that the router is using (normally 6 or 11) and make a note as if you are still experiencing signal loss, you can get back into the router and change to any channel between these numbers incase you are getting appliances interfering with the signal, save and exit from the router menu. disconnect the cable then go to control panel, network connections and right click on the connection you are using whether it is wired or wireles and click on properties. Look for the line TCP/IP and again click on the line and select properties, then make sure automatically obtain ip address is selected, ok and close window. Restart the pc's and you should have a connection.
