I have Belkin F5D5231-4 router. My DSL modem is connected to the
The router. Another computer is connected to the router so we both have internet connection and can access the other computer. Just recently when I turn on the power, the modem lights and router lights come on, then the modem lights go steady by the Belkin router connectivity light continues to flash. We can not access the internet or email.
We have tried resetting the router; unplugging, checking all the various cables with no luck. If I by-pass the router and connect the modem directly in to the computer, then I can access the internet and email.
I used this router for over a year and had no problems. I can't seem to connect to the internet nor email. Sounds like there is a solution to this. Where do I find it?

Connect your computer directly to your cable or DSL modem. If you see a log-in screen for your Internet Service Provider, make a note of the user name and password.
Unplug your router and your cable or DSL modem.
Plug your modem to your Belkin router's "WAN" port. Connect your computer to one of your Belkin router's numbered ports.
Turn on in your modem and wait 10 seconds. Plug in your router and restart your computer.
Select "Start," then "Control Panel" and then "Network Connections." Right-click "Local Area Connection" to bring up your network connection properties.
Click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)," then "Obtain an IP Address Automatically" and then "Obtain DNS Server Addresses Automatically."

When there is limited connectivity check if the laptop gets an IP address from the router. ELse try configuring it manually. Restart the laptop if necessary.
So if you connect the computer directly to the modem , it works . That means your modem is working properly. Your ISP is DSL connection. Now connect the modem to the router and the computer to the router. Open the router xet up page and change the settings of the router according to the type of connection you have. There are 2 types of connection in DSL. DHCP and PPPOE .
If you can access the configuration page of your belkin router you have to copy the MAC address of your computer to the router. The router has the capability to clone the MAC address. It's because if you have a cable internet connection the MAC address is registered in the server.
Wellll....since it seemed an impossible task, I tried the next best thing.
I bought a wireless adapter for the other pc and voila! they are on the internet, and I am returning the router.
Westell modem + Verizon DSL w/usb = No connection to router.
1) With direct connect with modem, check the IP address and default gateway. (I came across such a modem, it gave default gateway as 192.168.1.254) I also had the doubt of configuring as a dynamic connection But it won't work! Contact your ISP to completely bridge the modem and configure the dsl modem as PPPoE connection with correct username and password. Finally connect the modem to router and do a complete network power cycle, i.e.: Unplug power from router 1st, then power from modem, unplug the telephone line and now do the exact reverse process... Plug back the tel. cable, then power to modem... now WAIT for lights on modem to come back, then plug in the power to router. This will surely work.
Connect network cable from your current DSL modem to the WAN port (or internet port) on the back of the wireless router. It should detect the connection automatically.
If not, then try running the CD software that came with the device. It should setup everything correctly.
