F5d7230-4 router

I am now using vista on a new computer, can I get this router working somehow? I can access the router through the ip address (or what ever that # is) do I need to change a setting.

I was origianaly using the router with my laptop (XP). Once I got my new computer (vista) I Installed the modem software on it then tried to install software for Belkin router, would not instal, website says NATIVE something.

    I’ve bought a new laptop with Windows Vista installed on it.

    It doesn’t see my wireless router as an available network. My old laptop sees it and connects with no problem, but the new one doesn’t see the available network.

    The new laptop sees a neighbour’s network on low strength. I brought it in to work yesterday and it could see 3 Networks available here.



    What can I do to make it see my router?

    It’s a belkin54g I checked the website and it should be compatible with windows vista.

  • Mongobad Jan 06, 2008

    After connecting my vista machine to the router (wired) I can see my other computers on the network, but the vista machine will not see the internet connection. I borrowed another router (linksys) and the vista machine worked fine. I'd really like to keep my belkin if at all possible, can anyone help?

These protocols are standardized and you don' t need to install anything on your Vista computer to access a LAN, whether it be wired or wireless... I suggest the a user NEVER install router software on any computer, let alone Vista..

If you can access the router config page via the DG (Default Gateway IP Address) then you are connecting to the LAN and should be able to connect to the WAN (internet).. Check your IP settings and make sure that you have a good DNS server address, as if you do not, then you won't be able to resolve friendly web names to the proper IP Addresses...

The driver software that you are installing is probably not for vista

Try to download an updated version for vista

I have a wireless access point connected to a router. I am not able to reach settings page of the access point. Need help. IP given on the manual is 192.168.0.50 but it doesnt seem to work

the easiest way to find the IP address of your access point is to utilize the TRACRT function in command prompt.

Open a command prompt window, (XP-run>cmd vista/windows7-find>cmd

in the command prompt window, type tracert (random address ex. www.google.com)

so in the case of www.google.com, the command would be "tracert www.google.com" (no quotes)

the computer will then send a packet to google.com, but list the paths to it, you should only be really interested in the first couple addresses.

The first IP address will be your computers, if your computer goes through a switch before the router, the second address will be that of the switch, the third will then be the routers IP address

If your computer goes directly into the router, the second anddress on the list will be the router's IP address.

type the given address into your favorite browser and the router config page should be displayed.

Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link. http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.15.1 or http://192.168.2.1 If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it. Then it ask for user name and password. Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank. Then you can see configuration page of router. If you are still not able to access router with above ip then you need to RESET it for that press RESET button for 10 seconds it is in back side of router then all settings defaults..Then you can access it with above method. . Then click on wireless->wireless security->WEP security there is code password note down it or enter new password then save setting s and restart router. then you can connect wireless with new password.

******************************** Before configuring the wireless settings of the printserver, make sure to know the following settings on your D-link router: SSID, and wireless security.
Configuring the Wireless Settings on the Printserver
The wireless settings of the printserver can be configured using its web-based utility. Make sure the printserver is set to a static IP on the network.

Step 1:
Access the printserver’s web-based setup page. Open a web-browser such as Internet Explorer.

Try resetting your IP address:
The laptop may be trying to use the IP address from the old router.

1) Click Start (assuming Windows 2000, XP, or Vista)
2) Click Run
3) Type in CMD
This will take you to a black command box
4) Type in: ipconfig/release
The chart should show your IP address as 0.0.0.0
Once this has happened, proceed to step 5
5) Type in: ipconfig/renew
You should now see a new IP address listed.

Also note that you need to set up your network key (assuming that you are using one) on both the router and laptop.
Make sure that your router is set up to perform as DHCP server.

After changing LAN IP, can not access setup page

If using DHCP, reboot your machine or release and renew the IP on the network card. If using static IP addresses, change the computer's IP address to match the new segment and remove the old default gateway and replace with the new LAN IP.

Static IP on machine, now can't access web sites

Please see the related article on assigning a static IP address behind the router. If you still can not access websites, please try changing the static IP address you're using. For example if you're using the address 192.168.1.2, try 192.168.1.200. If that does not work please try the same static IP address on a different computer to see if it can use the information. If it can please try reinstalling your network card. If that doesn't work please contact Linksys Technical Support.
