Belkin router problems

If it is not working for your DSI, try going to your routers website and downloading a firmware update that would update it to version 4 (v4) and then your DSI should work!

You need to activate your wireless network first

On the dsi search the network for your wireless connection and connect to it you will need your wireless network password if you have one for the router...

If the internal wireless does not work there are a couple items to check. First make sure that the wireless router supports 802.11b, as routers that only broadcast in 802.11g or 802.11n may not be compatible. Then make sure that the DS is within proper range of a wireless router and has a signal strength of at least two bars. If trying to play a multi-player game, make sure that all DS systems are within 30 feet of each other, and that each DS has its own game card if needed. When trying to connect to a wireless router, also make sure that the correct encryption key is being used. The DS lite will also only work with WEP (Wired Encryption Protocol), because WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is not supported. The website at the bottom of this guide is a link to Nintendo's Customer Service site that has information on how to configure your specific wireless router based on its manufacture and model number. If these steps do not work, the wireless card in the DS may need to be replaced. Additionally, Nintendo has found the following routers to have known compatibility issues.
Actiontec GT704-WG
Belkin F5D7231-4 ver 1102
Belkin F5D6231-4 ver 1000
Belkin F5D7230-4 ver 4000
D-Link DI-514 ver B1
D-Link DSL-G604T
SMC SMC2804WBR-G product code: 751.7412
The following link has information about properly configuring your specific WiFi router to work with the DS.

your Internet modem or router needs to be connected to the Belkin router's WAN port with an ethernet cable. You'll then need to configure the belkin's wireless settings, it's usually a very easy "follow the prompts" kind of setup.

if you connect your xbox and it works than it is not your isp

go to your network setup and try it with fix ip and DNS to you vista laptop wirless card /fixed card ip setup

goodl luck get back if this does not work with more info on your network setup

hello, yes i had the same problem, but i had it with many other computers, the way i solved it was going into the router settings and click the "restore default settings" then turned the router off for 15 seconds (for a fresh reboot) then when i had to set everything up again i got all my computers on the router and im able to add more without running into that same problem once again, or for a simpler solution try disconnecting the wireless on the computers and replugging them in.... that works sometimes as well

Did all these devices use wireless? Or were they plugged into it?

The router may have reset itself so you might have to sign in to the router and setup the wireless again.

The PC that is hooked via ethernet, did it use the router wirelessly at all?

Try signing into the router and check the wireless security key settings etc. Reset it if you have to type in a new key and try testing the settings with one of your wireless devices to see if it works. Remember to have the device on the same key/index/channel and the same security type as is set on the router.

well..that passphrase is from a secure connection..you might need to get a new set of drivers, and re install that router.

go here for those drivers(look for Belkin router)
