Make sure all the wires are connected properly. 1.-Unplug your modem and router from the power supply. Wait 1 minute. 2.-Plug your modem back to the power and wait for all the lights to stop flashing. 3.-Plug your router back to the power and wait for the lights to stop flashing
Follow these steps and your internet should be working again!

Here is a Diagram of the router to show you the administration screen, your router administration screen should look like this.

1.Powercycle equipment ( Unplug power wait 15 seconds then plug back in. 2.Make sure connections are tight in to the router and to the modem. 3.Check you network settings Windows XP: Start/Run/Type ncpa.cpl and hit ok. Check and make sure that your connection doesnt say Connected Firewalled if it does to the left hand side you will see change windows firewall settings turn to off.If it doesnt say that double click the connection hit properties click on internet protocol and hit properties again,ensure that obtain ipaddress automatically is checked as well as obtain dns server automatically If not check them both and restart your computer. Windows Vista/7 Start/Search bar type ncpa.cpl right click on your connection and hit properties uncheck ipv6 and click on ipv4 and hit properties. After Ensure obtain ip address automatically is checked as well as Obtain DNS server automatically is checked restart computer. 4.Use command prompt: WIndows XP: Start/Run/Type cmd and hit ok Windows Vista/7 Start/All Programs/Accessories/Right Click Command Prompt and hit run as administrator. 5.Type in Command Prompt the Following Commands Each line is a seperate line is a new command simply press enter after each. netsh int ip reset reset.log netsh int ip delete arpcache netsh winsock reset ipconfig /flushdns 6.Restart Computer Final: If you still have issues connecting refer to router manufacture.

Belkin wireless configuration default gateway should be 192.168.1.254 typed into any internet browser. If not it is in the ipconfig utility under dhcp gateway.

You do not have to use the cd.

Shutdown your PC. Unplug the power from the router and the cable modem.
Wait 30 sec. then plug in the power to the cable modem, wait 30 sec. then plug the power to the router. Wait till you have "Internet" light then restart your PC. The PC should pick up an IP address and you should be able to get on-line. This is if you have a cable service provider. If you have DSL, the router needs to be configured with PPOe.

A.) PLACE YOUR ROUTER UP HIGH (YET CLEAR OF 2.4-GHZ FREQUENCY EQUIPMENT (SUCH AS 2.4-GHZ CORDLESS PHONES & SOME 5.8-GHZ PHONES WHICH USE A SPREAD SPECTRUM OF DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES), FLUORESCENT LIGHTING, MICROWAVE OVENS, HEATERS, MOTORS, GENERATORS, POWER PANELS) FOR OPTIMUM RANGE.

(There is such a thing as too much range when it comes to keeping your network out of the range of freeloaders & hackers. WPA2-AES encryption & the router's own firewall definitely help! Remember that you do not have to broadcast ths SSID (name of that wireless network), but not broadcasting it could mean having to type it in on each associated wireless device during the initial setup.)

B.) It is not necessarily advantageous to place whichever is the slowest computer on a wired connection, but it is important to ensure that whichever computer is designated to use a wired connection has a functional Ethernet port. Connect that computer to the router's LAN1 port.

(Yes, this router can utilize both wired & wireless connectivity simultaneously.)

C.) Keep the computers clear of the same sources of interference as listed in "A."

D.) Set the wireless adapter settings to full power (in device properties).

E.)

In general, you can follow the basic steps below.

I would recomend using WPA2 or WPA secutity over WEP. (as this is a stronger type of wireless security)

- Open a web browser on the computer.
- In the address bar of the web browser, type http://192.168.2.1 (default router ip address, you may have changed this)
- Click Login in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The router does not ship with a password, so just click Submit. (if you have already set up a password to login to the router then enter it here)
- Click on Security in the left-hand column under the Wireless heading.
- Use the drop-down menu and select "WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)".
- Select either WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-PSK+WPA-PSK2 as your Authentication; doing this will set the Encryption Technique automatically.
- Enter a word or group of characters in the password (PSK) box. The Pre-Shared Key must be 8 to 63 characters in length. Note: The PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is case-sensitive ("A" is different than "a").
*NOTE* Unchecking the Obscure PSK box will allow you to see the security key that has been typed.
= Click the "Apply Changes" button to save the settings.

Any/all wireless computers that connect to this network will be required to have this Pre-Shared Key (password).

If you need assistance with how to re-configure your computers, then please provide the version of windows that you are using.

Basic steps are:

-Disable the current Wireless Connection
-Enable the Wireless Connection
-Search for available wireless networks (look for your SSID wireless network name)
-you will be prompted to enter in your PSK and then save your settings

El cierre su computadora personal. Desenchufe el poder del router y el m?dem de cable. Espere 30 sec. entonces conecta el poder al m?dem del cable, la espera 30 sec. entonces tapa el poder al router. Espere caja que tiene la luz de "Internet" entonces reinicia su computadora personal. La computadora personal debe recoger una direcci?n de IP y usted debe poder conseguir conectado. Esto es si tiene a un proveedor de Internet de cable. Si tiene DSL, el router debe ser configurado con PPOe.

Si necessita mas asistencia, permita que sepa. Si esto ayuda o resuelve el asunto, por favor lo valora y da una recomendaci?n para mi respuesta. Gracias, Jose I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joe_8b8c2cd6ce148309

I can't remember my pasword and need to reset it .

you may just need to reset your modem and router, turn off both, and cycle the modem on, then the router. once that is done, if you're using windows, hit the windows key and the r key at the same time. type cmd into the dialog box and hit enter. when the black box appears type "ipconfig /release"
then type "ipconfig /renew" no quotes. then see if you are able to access the web. if not type 'ipconfig" and it will give you information about your ip address, come back and tell us what it says you have for an ip If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joel_63c670a84e9f6a97

Most routers have about 200m range. However, the actual range in real-time environment is much less. Generally the antenas are omni-directional, however, directional antenna can be used to improve range in one direction.There are two ways to increase the range/ coverage area (i) Adding external antenna of appropriate type (ii) Installing additional Access Point (AP) connecting it with the existing AP wirelessly in line-of-sight (creating WDS) OR connecting the two APs with wire, which is a better option as it provides robust and reliable connectivity between APs.

Based on my on-site experience, I suggest that you may relocate the AP to another location depending upon your network environment. It has always helped me a great deal. Placing the AP at the desk level, avoiding obstacles such as concrete pillars, walls, steel cabinets etc in the signal path have remarkable effect on range and overall performance of the network.

HOPE IT HELPS...Let me know if you need any further clarification assistance specific to you AP make and model. Don't forget to rate the solution if I could have been of any help!
Goodluck!
