WHEN TRYING TO USE WIRELESS ROUTER THE CONNECTION KEEPS GETTING LOST THEN RECONNECTING. EVERY THIRTY SECONDS OR SO.
Hello fieldon68, & to all the rest with the same problem.
There are many things that could be wrong, but intermittant discounnects sounds very much like a interverance from another wireless device. (ie phone, cell, etc)
To try to address this issue, follow the steps below:
Note : The steps below are applicable only for Belkin routers.
Note: The wireless card in the computer will automatically detect the change in channel number on the router and will update the channel on the card.
CauseYou get disconnected wirelessly mainly due to an environmental interference. When the wireless channel is set to auto, the router will cycle to though channels when it detects significant interference. When the router changes channel the wireless connection will reset itself and disconnect all wireless clients connected to the router. Wireless signals are prone to interference from cordless phones and electrical appliances (e.g., vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens). This is one of the more popular reasons Belkin wireless connections can drop.
Good Luck

I have a Desktop computer connected by cable internet, with the router hooked up for my laptop. The laptop has internet and is fine but the desktop keeps disconnecting and running slow. It's very fraustrating.

this happened to me every since i updated to "Firmware Version 3.01.17 (Nov 29 2007 17:48:13)" i used a stop watch and i get disconnected every 45 seconds just long enough for everything to loose connection.
same problem after i updated the firmware
My console computer does not recognize the internet through the router, but I can use it with my laptop.
When I plug in the cable modem directly into the computer, the internet is fine.
I have the same problem, any answers there?
