Per chance have you looked on YouTube for a video on how to hook up this particular router: Generally they have a video for just about anything imaginable. Good luck!

You are not the only person having problems with the Belkin N750 DB Wireless Dual Band Router. Are you using the correct cables? One more thing you can check, does it have a reset button on the bottom or the side? Try those two things.

Usually you don't need to setup any additional settings or creating new users on the Belkin router to access an USB HDD attached to it, if you used the Belkin Router Manager to set it up.

The Seagate drive you are using have it's own power supply, so that should not be a problem. Also the accepted formats are FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS formatted HDD.

You can try to set it up again using the manager. This is the user manual for your router, if it helps:

If you still can't get it working, let me know and we will try to find another solution.

Reset the Belkin to default settings and reconfigure the SSID and the Security Key. You can find a User/Setup Manual here: http://www.belkin.com/networking/manual/MAN_F9K1103_8820-00778_RevA01_N750.pdf

Make sure you hold the reset button on the back of the router for 10 seconds. This will do a factory reset for you, simply hitting the button will only restart your router. Once you're done resetting it, connect to your wireless network using information provided on the bottom of your router box and go to either http://192.168.2.1/ or http://router/ to configure it again.

You must set it up. Give it a different SSID and Security Key.Try the user manual: http://www.belkin.com/networking/manual/MAN_F9K1103_8820-00778_RevA01_N750.pdf AND http://www.belkin.com/au/support-search?search=n750+db

You didn't supply the OS you are using, it may be a software compatibility issue. Look for download for your OS. Try Belkin Support : http://www.belkin.com/us/support-product?rnId=6054

I believe the Belkin N750 is not compatible with Mac-formatted drives. I run Macs and while my N750 will see the drive, it is treated as read-only. Try reformatting in FAT-16, FAT-32 or NTFS.

It is possible that, if you have the router set to wireless N only, your XP machine won't interact with it. Your XP adapter probably doesn't support wireless "N"--you'll have to tell the router to use "N" or "G"
