Router shows a strong signal but when i connect i get a message "no internet access"

1. Using a computer that is plugged into the router directly with a network cable, open a web browser.

2. In the "Address Bar" type http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter.

3. A box should appear asking for a "User Name" and a "Password". Leave the "User Name" field empty, and type your WRT54G router password into the "Password" field (the default "Password" is admin) and click the OK button or press [Enter].

4. The WRT54G "Setup" page should now appear. Click onto the Wireless page.

5. When the "Wireless" page loads, you should be on the Basic Wireless Settings sub-section.

6. Look for the "Wireless Channel" option. The default channel is set to "6 - 2.437GHz". Change it to either "1 - 2.412GHz", or "11 - 2.462GHz".

7. Click on the Save Settings button toward the bottom of the page to save changes. Click Continue when prompted to reload the page.

8. The channel of your WRT54G has now been changed. Restart your wireless computers so that they can automatically connect using the new channel.

9. If you still experiencing interference using channels 1, 6, or 11, try switching the router to the other channels as well (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10) and find one that captures a good connection.

I can't see the the wifi network

Wireless routers can broadcast on several different channels, similar to the way radio stations use different channels. In the United States and Canada, these channels are 1, 6, and 11. Just like you'll sometimes hear interference on one radio station while another is perfectly clear, sometimes one wireless channel is clearer than others. Try changing your wireless router's channel through your router's configuration page to see if your signal strength improves. You don't need to change your computer's configuration, because it'll automatically detect the new channel.

I have a problem I just bought GE 2.4 GHZ phone

I'm not sure if your phone has a channel selection or not, but I know your router does. This issue happens because both wireless internet and cordless phones operate on the same frequency. To change your wireless channel you need to go to your router settings which should be at 192.168.2.1 for a belkin router. To get here you simply type that number where you would normally type a web address in your browser. You enter the username and password and go to wireless settings. Under there you should see something along the lines of channel. The most common channels are 6 and 10, if your router is already on one of these, try another channel. Just keep doing this until you find a channel that your phone is not using and your router should work just fine now.

Conflict between wireless router and cordless phone

Hi,
you should try changing your wireless channel in the router setup.
1) log into your router.
2) go to the wireless setup page.
3) change the 'Wireless Channel' from auto to 1-11.
4) re-boot your router and re-connect to it.
5) use your cordless phone and see if the connection drops out.
6) repeat steps until you have a stable channel

good luck :)
