You still have a connection with a desktop at home,right? If not you'll need to do the following with your laptop connected by ethernet.
I can give you advice based on my experience,I think it's similar.
Where I live the power goes out a lot in the Summer due to weather. If it's out for very long,the router defaults to factory settings.
Since you just bought your router you still have the default info for setup on Belkin's sight. You need to go back there and set up your internet and network settings again.Right now your router isn't aware that you have a network. You can use the same SSID and security settings and key,you just have to tell the router at Belkin setup. The url to type into your browser is:
http://192.168.2.1
If this helps,would you rate my post please?
Thanks

Hi


Open “Set up a Wireless Router” or Access Point by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then clicking Network and Sharing Center. In the left pane, click “Set up a connection or network”, and then click Set up a wireless router or access point.
The wizard will walk you through the process of adding other computers and devices to the network.

IT SOUNDS AS IF YOUR INTERNET IS NOT SET UP PROPERLY.
GO TO YOUR ROUTER OR DIAL UP SUPPORT SERVER,BY PHONE AND THEY WILL TALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SETTING UP YOUR INTERNET,IT'S THAT EASY.OR, YOU COULD PHONE THE PEOPLE YOU BOUGHT THE PC FROM,THEY WILL ALSO HELP YOU.

UNINSTALL THE BELKIN DISC SOFTWARE AND REINSTALL IT.THIS SHOULD WIPE AWAY THE OLD INSTALLATION AND ANY ERRORS YOU MADE,IF ANY.IF THIS "SET UP "SHOWS AGAIN,GO TO "STARTUP" IN YOUR DESKTOP ITEMS.YOU MAY HAVE TO GO TO ACCESSORIES AND BACK AGAIN BEFORE YOU FIND IT.CLICK ONTO IT AND DELETE "SET UP" ON THE BELKIN ICON.

YOUR BEST BET HERE IS TO CONTACT YOUR BELKIN SUPPORT BY PHONE AND LET THEM SET UP THE ROUTER PROPERLY.

If the cable is too long from the MAIN phone socket you won't get the signal to your router.You set the router as close as poss to the MAIN phone socket i.e. 2 to 5meters away.Then use a wireless adapter connected in your desktop USB socket.Use the adapter disc to set it up.This receives the signal from your router and installs it into the USB port.

HI!

It may be caused due to overheating of the router. If you could give it a break here and there, it should work fine.

If it has to run 24/7, then I think you should get yourself a better router. I would recommend you try The Netgear WGR614 router. Its good.

TDOGG!!

Unplug your router and leave it unplugged for 10 seconds. Use a straightened paper clip and press it into the RESET button hole on the back of the router, you should hear a click (like a mouse click noise.) While it's held down, plug back in your router, then after a few seconds release the paper clip.

This will reset your router to its factory defaults but any settings (including wireless settings) will be lost.

Plase connect the router with the computer using a lan cable. go to dos prompt and do a ipconfig
then note the default gateway and then open internet explorer or firefox and write \\ followed by the gateway ip. usually the gateway is 192.168.1.1 so you write \\192.168.1.1.
open internet explorer or firefox and type \\192.168.1.1 and press enter
enter useranme as admin and the password as password or admin or leave it blank and press enter
Configure the settings
select the internet connection type(for eg its pppoe for DSL connection) if you are chosing pppoe please make sure that your modem is in bridge mode. If your modem stores your isp username and password then select Dynamic ip address.
Please check with your isp regarding the connection type.

Try reseting the router by holding the button in the back fro ten seconds.

Hope this helps..

first unplug everything then wait 30 seconds then replug everything and try it if that doesnt work there could be a power cord problem in which case you would need a new one because of the wiring system inside will not work correctly after a wired has been frayed or damaged.
