I have a 655 router.. running windows7 on one computer on Home Network.. Router initially working OK..computer connected via cat5 wire. Disconnected router, moved to new location on desk...reconnected all wires. Now there are times when attempting to log onto Internet, no connection is found.. after 2 or 3 attempts.. connection is fianlly made and then works ok... I am using a cable modem that is connected to router via cat 5.. Is there some type of reset I need to do... My cell phone will not function via WiFi when my computer looses connection.

Hi,
1.Connect a Cat5 cable into the Ethernet port on the back of your cable or DSL modem. Plug the other end of the cable into the "Connect to Modem Internet/WAN" port on the back of the Belkin Router.
2.Connect a Cat5 cable into the "Ethernet" port on the back of any desktop or stationary computers and then plug the other end of the cable into one of the LAN ports on the back of the Belkin Router. Start with port one and work your way up with subsequent computer connections.
3.Turn the Belkin Router on by plugging the router into a power outlet. Allow 30 seconds for the router to fully boot up. All computers tethered to the modem via a Cat5 cable have access to the Internet.
4.Open the Wi-Fi Wizard on your laptop and turn on the Wi-Fi antenna. Once turned on, the Wizard finds all network connections in your area. Connect to your network to establish an Internet connection. Complete this step for each computer not tethered to the Belkin Router with a Cat5 cable.

You would need a 4 - 8 port router... with a wire going to each Jack... and these would plug into the Router ports, The router plugs into the Modem. You have to put the Ethernet plugs on each end of the Cat5 cable. Then you setup your network. But if you have a wireless router you simply need each PC WiFi enabled, IE: A wireless card in each PC, that way you do NOT need Cat5. Then each PC, simply connects to the Router/Modem.

(add small 4 port hub) from cable router out to hub port 1.-take cat5 from central insert in port 2 of hub.- insert cat5 in port 3 of hub then other end in now open cat5 port

I have an iMac and Canon MP970 printer connected to the router via CAT5 cable and a MacBook Pro that uses the n-protocol of the WLAN. Both work fine and I did not install anything special...
There is really nothing to 'set-up'... What problems are you afraid to experience?

Does folder sharing work through WiFi?
Might be that the IP ranges are not in the same subclass network if the IP numbers are not coming from the same DHCP server.
Did you check the IP number on Computer B in case of the cabled connection and when it is connected on the WiFi? They should only differ in the last digits, not the first 3 groups.

You must manually configure the wireless settings. Go to Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks. Remove all the listed network there. Then click Add > Add Network in Range > Select your signal > Type the security if you have and press connect. That should do it.

Follow the steps below on the concerned computer:

1. Click start button (extreme bottom left corner of the screen).
2. Click Control Panel from the list.
3. Click on Network Connections.
4. Right click on Local Area connection icon and click on properties.
5. Select Internet protocol TCP/IP from the list of components and click on properties.
6. Select "Obtain IP address Automatic".
7. Select "Obtain DNS server Automatic".
8. Click OK and close the window.

if the issue persists then try changing the cable between the router ad the computer. You may also try connecting the computer direclty to the modem to isolate issue.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue.

check the connections between the router and the modem either cable or dsl or whichever
and change the setting in the router interface so you know what the ssid is being broadcasted and the network key

Is your ReplayTV and Xbox configured to use DHCP? If not, you may need to configure static IP addresses for each of them.

run the telephone line from your modem into the wall jack. From the modem connect a network cable (cat5) into the back ( via the uplink port) of your linksys router . Your router can now route the IP from the modem.
