If it's the wireless password and you can still access the settings, you can change or add an additional wireless password (so you don't have to worry about changing it on your laptop). Or it might display the password on the security page, if it isn't asterisked out.

If you lost the administration password, you'll have to press the reset button, its a hole in the back of the router or bottom, try shoving a paperclip point into that. Hold it down for 30 seconds. Then, in your web browser, go to 192.168.1.1, leave the user ID blank and type admin for the password. Since everything is set back to default, you'll need to completely redo your security settings and change the wireless password in your laptop to comply with your changes.
Hope this helps!

Perform a Belkin reset:

1. Locate the reset hole on the router. The button will be on the back or side of the router.Leave the router powered on.

1. Use a paperclip (or similar) to press and hold in the reset button for 10 seconds.

1. Remove the paperclip.

4. Wait approximately one minute for the router to restart.

The settings for the router have now been reset back to their default.

Do not forget the new password and keep it somewhere safe. If you forget your password, you'll be unable to access your router's settings.

Setup steps:

1. Connect the computer to one of the four LAN ports on the router.
2. Open a web browser on the computer.
3. In the address bar of the web browser, type http://192.168.2.1
4. Click Login in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The router does not ship with a password, so just click Submit.
5. Then you can setup a new password.

Yes you need wireless router to use wifi in ipod touch or on laptop.
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 and enable it.
. 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. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.

If this is on one of the local computer ports and it is blinking it is nothing to worry about according to the manual (http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/p74559-b_f5d7230-4v7_man.pdf, page 11). It is just another normal status color like green but signifies a different network speed/duplex. If you are having issues with network connectivity, please reply with information such as:
1) Is the Modem light on and blinking? 2) are other machines using this router and able to get online? 3) did anything change to the computer plugged into the orange port such as windows updates or new hardware install?
Hope this helps some!

Not quite clear as to your problem. Are you trying to access the web-based configuration page for the router (for which you need an administrator password)? Or are you trying to make a wireless connection to the Internet via the router (for which you need the wireless security key)?

Those are two separate passwords, and you may be able to retrieve them both. The administrator password would be stored in the computer that was used to configure the router. The security key should be in the computer which configured the router, as well as any computer which made a wireless connection to the router.

You may find it helpful to check the owner's manual. If you don't have that available, you can download a copy here:
http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/product/list/q/routers/
Be sure to specify the correct router model.

If you can access the web-based configuration page for your router, you should be able to view (or reset) the wireless security key. (Check the owner's manual for your model.)

For many Belkin routers, the URL for that page is simply: http://router


Then select "Security", and following the onscreen guidance.



If you're not able access the router's configuration page, and the passwords are stored, you should still be able to retrieve them by installing some free software.

Is your previous computer already connected to the wireless?

if yes, kindly mention the Windows version of the computer

You may have to factory default it by pressing the reset button for upto 30 seconds

Ok, do the following:

Kind regards

make sure your router is plugged into the modem. make sure that the modem is plugged into the ethernet port thats separated from the others and you should be up and running perfectly

Hi, You may download your driver and software from this LINK. There is a note there on how you can get the correct driver. As it goes... "This product has multiple versions. Please check the version number on your router to ensure that you load the appropriate firmware below." Remember that drivers and softwares are limited from the manufacturer's releases. I hope this works for you. Kindly reply for further assistance. Good Luck!

TIPS: Is your computer slow? This might help

(for Windows only)

I wouldn't recommend doing this because it would then be easier for someone to access your files. However, if you wouldl ike to do this, make sure that your fileserver has a static IP adress, and not one handed out by DHCP. Log into your router, and look for a port forwarding setting. Port forward a port such as 5800 to the IP address of the file server. Make sure that port 5800 is open on the firewall on your fileserver. Now go to whatismyip.com and find out what your public IP address is. From the outside world, you can remote desktop into your file server by opening up RDP and typing your ip address such as xxx.xx.xx.xxx:5800

turn off the modem by unplugging all cables wait 30 sec also it should be 192.168.1.1 try to unplug router at the same time check that all cables are connected properly
