dear sir good day you'll see a reset button on the side of the router press on it and hold and after that connect your router to your pc and give your pc an ip of 192.168.2.2 and then fallow this steps

1. Open a web browser on the computer.
2. In the address bar of the web browser, type http://192.168.2.1
3. Click Login in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The router does not ship with a password

enjoy

Check out your default password here I would also try 192.168.0.1

If you can access the router setup page, you can still get the network key that you need and if you can also access the router setup page you can also do change the network key that you have on it...

From one of the "wired" computers, connect to the router's built-in web-server, and run the "Wireless Networking Setup Wizard", in order to configure your wireless network, choosing an 'SSID' and a "password" for your network.

it could be a virus or some setting.. it's unlikely it's your router unless you disable or closed ports like 110 which is pop3 server port.
I would suggest to make sure you're virus free first (which is a most) and then try to do a restore with a previous restore point. also check your firewall and make sure your email client is configured as an exception.

if you did change something in your router, check the firewall configuration and if you dont remember what you changed, just reset your router to defaults. You may need to reconfigure wireless security after that

good luck!

Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable.
Then you can access it with following link.
http://192.168.1.1
or
http://192.168.0.1
type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or blank or "password"
Then you can see configuration page of router.
If you are not able to access router with above ip then check your computer's ip settings.
Fir that go to start->run type in run "ipconfig" without "" then press enter .
then you can get ip configuration check your gateway ip it is your routers ip.
Try with that ip then you can access your router.Then
Click on wireless security check wep or WAP or WPA code it is your password to connect internet .You can also change it there then save and restart router to take effect.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.

1. Type http://1912.168.2.1 in your browser This gets you into the router's configuration

2.Look for the tab that says wireless settings or something similar
3. Look for security tab
4. Secure the router using one of the security schemes provided...whatever you use remember and write it down somewhere or you will have to reset your router if you forget your password and want to make changes to the router's configuration.

The address fro your Belkin 54G wireless router setup should be: http://192.168.2.1/
I would bypass the WiFi link/security and connect your PC/Laptop to be used for configuring the router via the Ethernet cable connection plug in Port 1 of the router.
If you do not have the password, you will need to reset the router to 'factory default' by using a small reset button on the back: you need a pen to push it down. Hold it down for about 10 seconds and it will put the router to factory default settings.
You will then need to reconfigure the router using the Belkins setup CD that came with the router (or download it before hand from Belkins support site): this will normally set it up automatically for you.
Hope it helps!

wireless or by cable

There are a number of Wireless Range Extenders on the market which will suit your requirements.

You want to secure the wireless network.
Is there any computer connected to the router with the Ethernet cable?
If not then you will need to connect the computer to the router with the cable.
Check the IP address on the computer. Open the router set up page.
Once you open the set up page, you will find the option to make it secured

Click Here for step by step instructions

Easiest wsay is to connect via cable and go into the configuration pages and set the security from the menu. Discoonect and then go into the wireless network settings on the laptop

hello,
typical setup: make sure everything is switched OFF, then, you will plug one side of the wire to the "WAN" port on your belkin and the other side of the same wire will go in the "LAN" port on the cable/DSL modem/device.
then you would take another wire and this time you will plug one side of the wire in the "LAN" port on your belkin router and the other side of the wire into your desktop/laptop computer.
1.first power on the cable/DSL modem, wait 20 - 30 seconds for the modem to go in ready state. 2. power on the belkin and wait another 15- 20 seconds for it to become ready. 3. finally power up your PC and everything should be good to go.
Note: if router is new and came with setup CD run that in the computer and follow instructions.

let me know if there are any issues.
Hope this helps, please vote.

Are you trying to connect to the wireless network ?
If it is asking you for the wireless password or the key , then that is the password set up on your router.
You will need to check the settings of the router.
It is very simple Click Here to know how to find the password

You set your security by enabling WEP.

When you get in the interface to configure WEP, set a pass phrase. Write down the 3 numeric keys it generates. Then connect to the wireless using your laptop, etc. When it asks for your passkey, do not enter the pass-phrase; enter one of the three keys that were generated by the router. That's the biggest mistake people make when trying to get wireless to work.

try to reduce the MTU settings on your router.
If possible upgrade the firmware of the router.

Hey you will not be able to locate the WEP key on any computer.
If you have the information saved on the document then you can find that document. otherwise you will not be able to find it on any computer.
This information is saved on the router interface. you will need to open the set up interface of the router.

you could try changing the channel of your router. What usuaully happens is if there are a few people around you on the samw channel, it can cause disruption.

Dial into the router by putting its IP address in Internet explorer and you will see an option to change the channel in settings. Anyone will do but avoid 6 or 11, probably the most common that other people use.

Good Luck!
