(F5D5231-4) Router: my belkin wireless having problem onnecting to the...

Any router should work with any modem. Make sure you are running an ethernet cable from the WAN/Uplink port of the router to the modem, or in some cases it will be a USB cable. Also you can test your internet connection by plugging a computer directly into the modem.

If you have wireless internet already, then go to Belkin's website. Most electronic devices nowadays have manuals in PDF format on their websites. Different router manufacturers usually has a different setup protocol for their devices.

IF THE MODEM GIVEN BY CENTURY LINK is 660 Series then the IP Address of the Modem and Router Will be the same

So before starting the troubleshooting ... Disconnect the centurylink Modem from the Belkin


Step 1 : Connect One of your computer to the belkin ( to any one of the 4 grey ports ) with an ethernet (CAT 5 ) Cable

Hello
Sounds like you took all the right steps.In add and remove programs at the control panel,remove your wireless card drivers and anything related to it.
Be sure to write down your wep security key from your router first.

Then remove the card,reboot,put the card back in,then reinstall the drivers.

If this does not work the wireless card may be bad.

Hope this helps.

Make sure the Belkin wireless is the only device directly connecting to your internet service provider's router/modem. Usually that port is labelled "WAN" or even "Internet". The Belkin should have extra ports/jacks for WIRED connections, right? You then connect the PC into the other remaining ports/jacks on the Belkin (if they're wired) or just use the wireless for the laptop if the laptop has wireless. After getting the wireless going, though, you should lock it down by using WPA encryption key if possible.

Seems like you need to sync your modem and router. Disconnect the power to the modem and router. Then, first connect the modem and wait till all the lights are lit. then re-power your router. Restart your computers and you should be all set. Good luck

If the modem is actually passing out DHCP, then you have to connect the modem to the router 4 port lan side and not the wan port. Give the router a static ip like 192.168.1.2 and you can talk to it and configure the wireless features.

Double check the wireless settings of your belkin router, its should match with the wireelss settings of the computer most important is the wireless security key called a WEP or a WPA key...if you're not sure about that access the router setup page and there you can check all the wireless settings of the router..

Hope that helps..........

ok, obvious questions first:

Do you have a different modem from TALKTALK? can you connect to the internet through that?

if so, you may not have to set a username and password for the belkin router: just connect the belkin router's internet port to the talktalk modem and let the talktalk modem handle the automatic connection.

do you know what protocol the talktalk ISP uses?  it's probably PPPOE; make certain that your belkin router is set to the correct protocol.  if you just hook it up to the talktalk modem though, you probably won't have to specificy a protocol at all.
