Belkin router and modems

Hi. I just purchased my first Gateway laptop and a Belkin wireless router (F5D9230-4. I learned I need a modem. Which modem do I purchase to go with this router? I have a desktop and a verizon router, but that router doesn't work with laptops unless the laptop stays plugged in.

I would suggest returning the router and/or purchase a modem router, as it does away with all the connection problems and the need to click dial to connect as a modem router is always on and does not require a main pc to be on. It will also probably be cheaper than buying a seperate modem.

Belkin F5D77230-4 - connecting to modem

Hi,

It would seem that:
Your modem has only USB output;
Your Router has only Ethernet input with WiFi & 4 LAN port outputs; and
You want your laptop to be access the Internet through wireless connection.

There are USB to Ethernet converter/adapter, an example is shown here.

There are on the otherhand, comparable modems to what you have that provides both a USB and an Ethernet output such as the ProLink H9000 shown here .

Perhaps your best course of action is give your provider first a call and see if you can require them to replace your modem with another model/version, one that has an Ethernet output or a combination.

Alternately, a way can be configured if you have a desktop that has both a USB and Ethernet that we can set up as Gateway (but this is the long method).

Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need further information.

Good luck and kind regards.

I have a belkin fsd7320 router and dlink 302 and cant get to net

It sound like youe wireless card in the laptop is not configured correctly.
The TCP/IP settings on the laptop's wireless card should be as follows :-
In the wireless card's Properties - TCP/IP
Enablw - Obtain an IP Address automatically
Enable - Obtain DNS server address automatically

This is the same for the LAN card.

My Belkin G+ router is set up but not working

Hi,

Based on your description, the only thing that I can think of that would be the issue is a router to modem compatibility issue. If it's, please attempt to use the same type of modem as is used in your home to help overcome the issue. Thank you.

I am installing new Belkin router F5D7234-4 v5 (01). I have done the setup according to the guide that came with the router kit. I am unable to connect to internet. The modem light keeps on blinking red color. Could it be because of the user/pwd provided by the ISP provider?
