My dell runs fine and works well conneted to my westtel router with the ethernet cable, but not the belkin wireless adapter. That connects and disconnects every few seconds. Other computers run fine in the house. I reset the modem and even downloaded the new belkin driver, but no change. please help, any suggestions
Sometimes wireless phones will interfere with the signals. If the router or PC is anywhere near a phone, it might have a problem. I have one wireless network card that gives me fits like that. I have yet to get a PC working with it. I have other wireless cards that work fine. I also switched to 5GHz phones, which helped my old laptop. Check to make sure there's not a conflict with the encryption used by either the dell or the router.
1.
Step 1 Position your Belkin wireless G router.
Place your wireless G router in a wide open and central location. Don't connect
the power plug into the router, yet. Make sure your computer is turned off.
2.
Step 2 Connect all the devices.
Find the Ethernet cable that connects your PC to the modem. Unplug the Ethernet
cable from your PC and insert it into the wireless G router's WAN port. You
should have an additional Ethernet cable that came with your router. Take this
cable and plug one end into one of the LAN ports on the router. Then connect
the other end to your PC's Ethernet port.
3.
Step 3 Turn on your modem, router, and PC.
Plug the power plug adapter into the modem. Turn on the modem. It'll take approximately
30 seconds for the modem to boot up. Connect the power plug adapter to the
router and the other end into a power strip or outlet. Like the modem, it'll
take about 30 seconds for the router to boot. Turn on your PC.
4.
Step 4 Verify lights are on for your devices.
Make sure the following lights are on for your router: power, WAN, and LAN
light. If you don't see any of them lit, confirm these devices are turned on.
Make sure the Ethernet cable connections are installed correctly.
Step 5 Install and configure software.
Use the setup wizard application to configure your Belkin wireless G router.
Set up features, such as creating your password and setting up your time zone.
Continue to follow the setup wizard so you can configure ?other settings
