Return it and buy a better brand? It is normal for a router to get pretty warm - difficult to say what is too warm. You could try aiming a fan at it and see if performance improves - if so, that is the problem. Any way to improve ventilation? I suspect the 13 volt measurement you made is with no load - not connected to the router. It is normal for the no-load voltage of a power supply to be considerably higher than the working voltage. Perhaps you could rig some clipleads or open the router case to measure the voltage when it is connected and see if it is significantly higher than the 9V rating - which would be a problem causing overheating.

Sure the reset button will fix this, because it will reset the router tofactory defaults and erase all personal settings.

The better and easier way is to connect one of your clients/computers to the router via an Ethernet cable, login to your router (The default is http://192.168.2.1), go back to your wireless settings and either write down the key or delete it.

Now connect from another computer and provide the network key when asked for it. Make sure that broadcasting the SSID is enabled in your router, so computers can "see" the network. (Look at page 47 of your manual for details.)

I don't think so.. try to reset your router and unplug it for couple of minutes then try to reconnect it.

Not sure what this question means but call your service provider for your router. We have Belkin and they are great at fixing router issues.

The version number of the router is not specified ???

Step 1 : Open RSP by typing 192.168.2.1 on the address bar of internet explorer

Step 2 : Check if there is the option Wi Fi Protected setup under wireless

Step 3 : If it is there Enable it and click apply changes

There are 2 possible cause of this problem;

First the router's power adapter is already busted if you happen to have a spare or another power adapter with the same output as the original one try it first before deciding to purchase a new one.

Second, the routers processor or the entire board insed the router is already shorted, if it is still under warranty(this model has a lifetime warranty according to the specifications) send it back to the store where you purchased it or to Belkin(some manufacturers and stores also provide replacement for faulty power adapters).

Either you have not configure the Wireless SSID or your router is faulty. You can use the easy setup using the CD or configure the router by going to the default IP address. Do read the setup manual first.

You could always use the reset button, but please note that you will loose all settings and configurations.

Easy, remove or turn off the power to the wireless router.
