I seem to have a touchy USB connection, when I first got the Belkin and plugged my printer(s) into it, nothing happened, no connection light etc, after about 3 days I got it to light up, and it was fine for awhile, but now I'm back to having no USB connection and hence no USB manager function etc. I just plugged in a mini drive that runs off the USB power and it has power but still no USB connection light. Any ideas? thanks

SOURCE: Belkin Installation CD wont install any software for my wireless router

click on the start button, all programs then go to accessories and then the program compatability wizard see if it will run from there if not try start, run then click browse then on the right hand side my computer, then click on the cd drive then the setup one of these should work

Hello gregorcarp

It could be a flakey router or DSL modem or signal from the ISP, or, another thing to consider, issues w/ power supplied to your network devices (DSL modem, router, etc).

W/ respect to your ISP, you can check w/ them to see if they have a log of "events" that have occurred involving service to your DSL modem. You can ask them to check the strength of the signal to you modem as well.

W/ respect to "locally", I'd address the possibility of a power issue. After checking w/ your ISP, this would be tne next logical course of action to take w/ an intermittent problem like the one you're experiencing. You want to at least get the possibolity of there being a power issue ruled out.

---
If the power is dirty (noise on the line), sagging or spiking (out of recommended peak to peak tolerances), it can cause your networking equipment (in fact, ANY electronic equipment) to "behave irratically".

Most people are unaware of this but "bad power" is a slow killer of electronic equipment. It eats away at your equipment - little by little damaging your equipment's sensitive electronic components - resulting in or causing spurious or intermittent problems that can drive the best techs crazy trying to pin down.

If you don't have good power protection in place already, I recommend the following:

Place ALL of your network devices (ALL of your computer-related equipment as soon as you can manage) on one or more quality UPS'.

A quality UPS works far better than a surge suppressor for protecting you sensitive electronic equipment - even a high quality surge suppressor. That is because, not only will a good UPS dampen spikes as quickly as a good surge suppressor but it will also pull up sags in power. (Surge suppressors cannot do this.)

When your power goes out of tolerance w/ respect to peak to peak voltage or noise on the line, a good UPS will kick in and take over supplying clean power at the correct levels until the building or house power comes back into tolerance.

If your power is r-e-a-l-l-y bad, then you might want to consider using a power conditioner, too.

Please, post back here w/ any questions, comments, what you've tried so far and the results, etc. We'll keep working w/ you to resolve this issue.

Thank you

Try restoring the Belkin back to the factory default by powering up the Belkin and pressing the RESET button on the back of the Belkin for 7 secs. Then connect a LAN cable from the computer to the Belkin, open IE browser and type the configuration IP address and configure the wireless settings ie. SSID, encryption etc. The computer wireless cards will need to be configured with the Belkin wireless settings to allow them to communicate with the Belkin.

If the reset did not help ,i would suggest you talk to the Belkin Support team and get a replacement. Since its a new router, I assume it has an up to date firmware .

If I understand correctly ... You have not connected the drive to a computer.

If I am not mistaken the WD My Book has preinstalled backup software installed on it. It very well might also have a power down built as part of that programming. Try attaching it to a computer to verify this.

Assuming the backup software needs blank drive to work correctly I would first access the drive select all and delete anything you find (if you know how to unhide hidden files do that before you select and delete all) ... As a 2nd option I would just reformat the drive.

Hope that helps....
