Re: I just got a belkin wireless router. After I connect...
Depending on ur internet service provider, u should change the connection type to dynamic (comcast, time warner, cable vision) or PPPoE if u have a user name and password for ISP's like AT&T and verizon

Hi Christopher s crisp,
Is it blinking Orange or steady?
Blinking amber: The Router can't detect the modem. Either the
modem is off, is not plugged into the Router, or is unresponsive.
It could be the modem.
You can try connecting the modem directly to computer bypassing the router and see if that works.
Check the LED on Modem.
Do you have other computers to test the connection?
Might need to talk to ISP if issue with Modem.
sounds like you have to reset the router and put in your info again as when it was new ...
Take a Ethernet cable and connect your modem from internet port of the belkin router and power on your modem.
Take another Ethernet cable and connect your computer from Anyone empty Ethernet port of the belkin router. (if you have laptop then you may connect your laptop using wireless facility. You will find the username and password in the back of your router) .
Now you need to power on your modem and wait for all lights to turn into green or blue lights. If all you have yellow light on your router. Then you need to restart your modem and wait for 2 minute. For more information you can visit : Belkin Router has solid orange light
If you have solid green light on your belkin router, you need to go to your computer and open your browser.
At the very top address bar you need to type the ip address 192.168.2.1 for opening the router setup page. (Sometimes the ip address may be different, you can check the router's ip address via running the ipconfig)
Now you will be able to see belkin router setup page, so you need to click on detect my connection.
If your computer will able to detect the connection properly then this will forward you to the wireless setup page. Here this will ask you to change the password (If you want) and click on next.
Finally you will able to see all configurations window, so you need to check all configuration and click on save and continue to save all settings on your router. Now you belkin router will reboot and this will show you router admin page.
Finally your belkin router will setup and you will able to use the internet. you may try to connect the devices, whatever you want to connect with it.
if you got an orange light to the router, It means that there's no Internet connection or not working from the router. I might advice you to check the Internet connection from your ISP, then check the configuration of your router or you might needing to reconfigure the router.
