My laptop has limited internet access. I've called up my router provider and they said theres nothing wrong with the router as it works fine on all other laptops in my house. I have a sony vaio, I have tried everything from trouble shoot to reinstall my network drivers and nothings works... can anyone help!!

Who is your Internet service provider?
Is it cable or DSl?
What is the model number of your router?
You can access Internet through the modem that means the modem is working fine. it is just the Internet connection settings which might not be working properly.
You can open the setup page of the router and change the settings manually.
Try this router installation help website and see if that helps you

It is more likely the modem is defective for the internet.

Your router has a settings known as DHCP limit, MAC ID filtering (filtering by device ID called mac address). Either of these have been turned on. PLease let me know what kind of internet connection you are using DSL/CABLE etc., so that I can help you resolve this problem.

If you do not have a wireless router which is connected to your Internet servce provider and now your laptop does not connect to the Internet then, you could have connected to your neighbour's Internet connection.
The reason why you cannot now get Internet access is, this neighbour has discovered unauthorized access to their unprotected wireless connection and has taken security steps to prevent further unauthorized access.

If you have a wireless router and it is connected to the DSLor cable modem then - To connect to your wireless router, the router needsits wireless settings to be configured with the SSID, encryption key etc., alsothe wireless cards in all the laptops/computers needs to be configured withthese router's wireless settings. Then the laptops/desktop computers cancommunicate with your wireless router and access the Internet via the DSL or cable modem.

Can you please check the signal strength of the wireless router.
If you can log into the wireless router management page and check for the erros if any inside the logs.

Have you ran one at a time to see if each one can connect by itself this would rule out a problem with one of your laptops.if you try this let me know. Thanks.You can call support at Belkin an they might be able to walk you through the setup.

When there is limited connectivity check if the laptop gets an IP address from the router. ELse try configuring it manually. Restart the laptop if necessary.

Please rate if helpful.

Thanks

Did you try to install the drives first? try that. see if the laptop gets an IP from the router (by default 192.168.x.x).

I would also try to plug the laptop directly to the router and see if it works (with network cable plugged between the two)

in the installation manual you have a url you can type in...its something like 192.428.111.1...ect about 10-12 numbers...type this number in the internet browser search window. this will tell you first if you have access to the internet. you should get the settings windows for your router. there you can make adjustments as needed for your rounter unit.once confirmed.

if you are having access to the wireless network you set up the password you set in is obviously incorrect when it was set up. first check the light on the front of the wireless router it should have various light on ..such as power,,usb...dsl...and internet..with the internet light flashing... as a precaution please do a repair connection on your internet access point on the computer ur using..right click the wireless icon at the bottom of your screen if ur using xp..sometimes this repair will be just enough to clear up issues.and allow access.

if this continues...you may need to reinstall the unit...there is generally a reset button (very small) on the underside of ur wireless unit and take the appropriate steps..

Is your laptop/desktop getting the ip address from your router (if you have one?)
Are you on a wireless connection or ethernet?
Go to start button, connnect to, show all, double click over LAN connection or wireless connection whatever you are using, properties, then support, please let me know if you have any IP in the first line?
Also if you are on a wireless connection, make sure your wireless NIC is NOT disabled, enable it. Let me know if you need help?
Hope that helped!
