I forgot my password and so reset the router by

Well I don't necessarily have enough information to specify what your problem is, I'm considering that you are either referring to your security password, or the password to change the router settings. So, I'll just answer how to work around all three of them.

Wireless security password: By default, this setting should be off, and if you do a factory setting reboot (by pressing down AND holding the reset button for more than 10 seconds) it should turn off by itself, thus not requiring you to need it anymore.
Router Administrator's password: By default, there is in fact no password, so when you want to log in, all you need to do is press the login button, there is no need for you to type anything in to gain access to your router settings.

If this helped, please give me a thumbs up! And if I didn't answer what you were looking for, please leave a comment and I'll check to see if there's anything I can do!

I had my router working fine then messed it up by

Hi Megan,

On the back of the router there is a hole, probably marked 'reset'. Press and hold this button for 30 seconds and this should reset the router to factory settings. After doing this, unplug the power from the router and your modem. Plug in the modem first - wait one minute. Now plug in the router and hook everything up. Now you can set a new password on the router to prevent unauthorized access.

Please let me know if this doesn't work and I can help further.

Regards,

Joe

Can i add an outdoor antenna to my belkin f5d8236?

I think you can try:

Homemade Pringles antenna - Eat a packet of Pringles (ready salted would be my choice) then follow this tutorial to convert it into a functioning directional antenna. Point it where you need a signal boost.
Airport Express & kitchen sieve - Take an Airport Express and set it into a common metallic kitchen sieve to boost it's signal further.
Try a parabolic dish - Hawking make a 802.11 B/G parabolic dish that basically pulls in a WiFi signal, performs some magic and boosts your range by up to 300%! It only costs $80 and it has a cool retro style.
Cantenna - This is basically a pro version of the Pringles tin hack. For $50 you can buy a Cantenna that plugs into your router and extends your WiFi signal. It also looks cool.

Also see this:
The Wi-Fire uses a powerful directional antenna, highly sensitive receiver and proprietary software to find and enhance normal WiFi signals. With it, you can connect wirelessly to the Internet-even at low signal strengths-faster, more reliably and with a more consistently strong connection-than you are able to with an internal wireless adapter.
The Wi-Fire draws very little power from your laptop battery. It comes complete with everything you need to connect wirelessly to the Internet. Just install the Wi-Fire Connection Manager, plug the Wi-Fire into an available USB port and you're ready to start. It can rest on any flat surface, laptop display or flat screen monitor.

I can't find my network key to connect to wireless

You'll have to reset your router's configuration to the factory defaults, and then reconfigure it with a new network key, etc.

Use a paperclip to depress the "Reset" switch (with the router on) for 10 seconds, and then release. You can then use the web interface to reconfigure your router as if you just installed it.

Hope that's helpful.

The router was working fine

Step 1 Locate the reset pinhole on the back of the unit.

Step 2 With the unit powered on, press and hold the Reset button.

Step 3 Hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds.

Step 4 Release the Reset button.

Step 5 The unit will reboot. Allow 20-30 seconds before reconnecting.

Step 6 The device is now at factory defaults. Note: Do not recycle power during the reset procedure. When it says hold for about 10 seconds, don't hold for more than ten seconds or the procedure will likely fail, if ten seconds doesn't work try 5 seconds I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joe_8b8c2cd6ce148309
