Cannot connect Belkin F5D8233-4 Router to Mac Laptop

I believe your VH100 is only a VDSL converter. You'll need to reconfigure your NEC router as an access point or PPPOE. You'll need the credentials from the company to put into your router. I can't help you cuz I am not familiar with either device.
I would ask who you're buying DSL from if they have a wireless device you can buy or rent from them so they will help you. Or cancel your service and buy internet from someone else. I prefer cable. It takes about a week to activate your VDSL line so it may not even be turned on yet.

This indicates that router can't detect cable modem or this is unresponsive, probably your modem is logically tied with your PC (MAC address associated), that's why when you connect them directly work fine, if this is the case, you'll have to clone the MAC address of your PC into your router, this should be at Setup Menu, Manage MAC addresses option.

Hi Friend,
We have to change the MAC Address Cloning in the router,please follwo the below mentioned steps,

1.Type 192.168.2.1,you will get a Belkin router setup page

6.Then check the lights in router u will have all the lights in blue or green.
7.Try to scan and connect.You will be able to connect to the internet in wireless

Make sure your physical connection is correct. From the modem, the ethernet cable should plugged in to the Internet/WAN port of the router. And your computer to port 1. Access the setup page of the router again and Enable the MAC Address Clone setting. Clone the MAC Address of your PC there then power cycle the router and modem. You should be all set.

I managed to figure it out. I had to clone the MAC address to get the router to connect to the Internet.

I still have another problem though, my laptop still won't connect to the router. I'm using Vista, is this a possible network adapter issue? My laptop is fine at connecting to other wireless networks round my friend's houses/libraries...

I have a Mac Pro and a Belkin F5D 7230-4 Router. The Mac links to the WiFi but will not go on to the internet. The Router works fine with a wired PC and other wireless PCs. I have updated the Belkin with the latest Firmware but it does not help. I have tried powering down the Router and Modem

If you are connected straight from the modem, your router will not have internet access, only if your modem is connected to the router you will be able to go online wireless. connect your modem to the router nad router to the desktop, so that you can access both wired and wireless connection

Your cloning the mac address - thats the problem. It should use it's own mac address to connect to the modem. You need to power down the modem, then repower after a minute or so to let it connect to the new mac address. The problem you are seeing is due to network collisions betweenj the desktop and the router with the modem.

login to teh router and disable the fire wall and enable QOS under QOS u can upstream ur band width for the LAPTOP MAC address>and restart the router and laptop if u r not using wire less then turn off the SSID broad cast also rate me solved if its helps thx
