Belkin (F5D7231-4) Wireless Router - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It can be that your iphone doesnt work with 2.5ghz but maybe 5Ghz. Try setting up your router with 5Ghz and see if that will help

This depends on if your computer is hard wired or wireless. If it is hard wired you sometimes have to reset the router, pull the plug wait 30 seconds then plug it back in also do this for the computer that is not connecting, this will start the hand shaking process over. If it is wireless you may have to reset the wireless adapter. the easy way to do that is to hover the mouse icon over the wifi icon on the bottom right of your screen now right click on that and select troubleshoot problems, this will reset it. If this fails then on your start on the bottom left normally open that and in the run box type cmd now hover your mouse over the cmd and right click and select run as administrator a black box will open in there type netsh winsock reset and hit enter after doing that you will have to reboot your machine, hope you get back online..

There are two possible solutions, depending on which password you can't remember. If you remember the password to log into the router, you can go to the wireless security page and see the wireless password (you may have to uncheck the "obscure password" box to see it). If the password you can't remember is the one needed to log into the router, I believe your only recourse is to hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds to restore the factory defaults. NOTE: you will then have to re-configure the router as if you had just taken it out of the box.

Steps to find a WEP key:

1. Open a browser (the program used to access the internet).

2. Type the following into the address bar of the browser. If using a Belkin router type "192.168.2.1". The address bar is the area where webpages are typed. It is important when typing in that there is NO www. before the numbers, but do put http://

3. If all has gone well this should open a page that says Belkin.

3. There may be the need to login. When using a Linksys if you don't know what the username and password are it may still be the factory settings, and so enter in "admin" for the username and "password" for the password. If using a Belkin router, the factory settings often come with no password, so just click submit without typing in a password.

4. Click on a) "Wireless" or b) "settings".

5. Click on a) "Wireless security" or b) "wireless settings".

6. There should be a page with a WEP key listed.

7. Write it down/copy and use as you wish!

If you have forgotten the password, reset the Belkin by pushing and holding the reset button for 30 seconds or so and release, this will reset to default settings. Connect and reconfigure the SSID and Security Key. You may want to write down the password and store for future use. Belkin Support: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?rnId=6939

The network security key is set by the user when the home network is setup. It prevents people from stealing your wireless signal. If you have forgot it, or didn't set it up but it still is asking for one, you can unplug and hit the reset button on your router and delete the home network you have on your main computer. From there, just run the network setup wizard from the main pc and set your network security key to something you can remember as well as write it down. Then you should be set to add any other pc to your home network as long as when you try to connect, you put the correct key in.

Connect a LAN cable from Belkin to your laptop/computer's LAN port, open a browser on your laptop/computer and enter the Belkin's configuration URL. http://192.168.2.1 The default PW = blank (just press Enter) You can now change the default admin password.

Red light usually indicates no internet connection.Check the units manual for LED signal indentification.Take care!damnor01

You either have the SSID broadcast turned off or the routers name has been changed or the wireless card is disabled.

Unplug EVERYTHING and then plug it all back in in the following order.1. Modem2. Router3. Computers and stuff.It will probably work after that.

Hi Mihaly,As a rule, you do not 'instal' a router and therefor do not ned a CD. All you need to do is connect it to a computer and use your web-browser to access the internals of the router in order to set it up for your broadband and to set the wifi etc.Check that router's IP address - it is sometimes on the bottom of the unit (along with the log-in name and password). If it is not there then check your network settings - that wil show you the router's IP address. it is generally one of these three - 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254.Sometimes it will be different but those are the common addresses.For log-in and password, try admin and admin or admin and password (you never know).That's all you need (apart from your broadband user name and password - note - these are NOT the same as the router's log-in and password).

Hi,
There is a Pin Hole button behind the Router and if your press and hold that for at least 15-20 seconds this will set the Router back to Factory Defaults.
NOTE: this will remove any setting you have on the Router, make sure all details are known or noted before resetting.

With the router powered on, use a small thin object to press and hold the reset button for exactly seven seconds. The router lights will flash and this will restore the router to factory default. Connect your computer to one of the routers lan ports with an etherent cable. Open your web browser and navigate to 192.168.2.1. This should show the router status page with the default settings.
