Instructions for setup wireless router

To test your Internet connection use a LAN cable, connect to your laptop to your router and if you can get an Internet connection then most likely your USB wireless adapter is not configured correctly for connecting to your wireless router.
To connect your computer to a wireless router, you click the Refresh network list, then Choose your wireless network and then click Connect to your secured Wireless Network, it will asks for a Network Key before allowing you to connect into your wireless network. This Network Key is either the WEP, or WPA or WPA2 Encryption key that is used to configure the Wireless Router. The Passphrase is an alternate way to setup the Encryption key.
When you are requested for a Network Key, you can just enter the Passphrase that was used to configure the Encryption key in the wireless router. http://www.fixya.com/support/r5270415-network_password_network_address For information on securing your wireless network, configuring the wireless router and configuring the wireless card in the laptop/computer, please click on this link and follow my instructions :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3559128-wireless_router_security

1. Prepare the Network

• Purchase and setup a wireless broadband router by interfacing it with your wired computer. Choose a router that is compatible with your broadband modem and that supports the wireless network type you desire.
• Enable WPA or WPA-2 security, and change your router's default password. Give your SSID or wireless network a memorable name.
• Connect your modem to the WAN (wide area network) port on your router.

1. Install an Internal Card

• Purchase a wireless network card that is compatible with the router you purchased and with your computer. For example, if you bought a 802.11 b/g router, do not purchase an 802.11 n adapter.

• Shut down your computer. Remove all cables and peripheral devices.

• Remove the left side panel while facing the front of the case. You may need to remove screws or to manipulate latches and notches. Consult your case or computer manufacturer's documentation if you are unsure of how to remove the panel.

• Clip the metal part of the anti-static wrist bracelet to a metal object, and ******** the bracelet.

• Locate an available PCI or PCI-Express slot. Unscrew the screw that secures the slot cover that corresponds with the slot, then remove the slot cover.

• Line up the wireless adapter's pins with the slot. Insert the card until it clicks into place. Do not force the card into the slot, or you may damage the card's connectors. If you feel resistance, remove the card, line up the card with the slot again, and reinsert.

• Secure the card with the slot cover screw. Reattach the side panel, and replace any screws you removed earlier.

• Reinsert all cables, and plug in all peripherals. Boot the computer.

• Allow Windows the opportunity to detect the card. It should automatically install the drivers for the card. If you have updated drivers, insert the disk and install according to on-screen instructions.

1. Install an External Card

• Boot up your computer.

• Insert your external wireless adapter into the appropriate slot. For example, if you purchased a USB slot, insert it into a USB port.

• Allow Windows the opportunity to detect the card. It should automatically install the drivers for the card. If you have updated drivers, insert the disk and install according to on-screen instructions

• Complete Setup

• Double-click the network icon in the task bar.

• Highlight your wireless network. Windows will display the name you entered when setting up your router

• Click the "Connect" button.

• Enter and verify the security key you created when setting up the router. Click on "Connect."

If you have further query then try to let me know. Thanks for using FixYa.

if your keyboard is acting erratically and it only happens when your wireless router is on, try changing the channel you are broadcasting your wifi signal on. In the US, there are 3 main channels that are typically used to avoid interference from the other 2. 1, 6 and 11. This will be changeable on your wireless router and without knowing what model you have I can't give you instructions.

However, if this only happens when your USB adapter is in, but wasn't happening before even with your wireless router on, then you may have some strange RF interference coming from it. Try to make sure you have your adapter as far away from your keyboard and receiver as possible.

Hi,

You have mentioned that you have a modem connected to one computer already, if you want to access another computer from a different computer through a wireless adapter then you need a wireless router or access point to transmit the wireless signal, because the Belkin N150 Wireless USB adapter which you have bought is just a "receiver".

If you have router already connected to your modem then please give the brand name of the router you have

Thanks & Regards,
Prema.

No. It will work with any router. You will just not be able use the auto security setup feature. But doing it manually is a piece of cake.
