Belkin (F5D7230-4) Router (587009) - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

first the speed has a relation with yout ISP not you router or modem,unles youre tranfers files on a network,home or office.So for todays surfing the way you want you need a broadband connection of at least 2MBS or greater.

If you mean you can't remember your WEP/WPA passcode then that can be fixed by accessing the compute through a lan line (ethernet) and just reconfigure it for a new passcode. If you mean you can't remember the code TO the router then you can always press the reset button on the back of the device for ~5 sec and reset it that way. A lot of standard (factory setting) passcodes are password with a login of admin

Follow this instructions:1. connect via hard wired connection using your PC (network cable)2. open your internet explorer or any browser.3. type the numbers 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.1 on the address bar4. you will be routed to your router's settings, type admin for USERNAME: and just leave it blank for PASSWORD.5. look for the basic setup/settings6. look for the wireless settings7. under your SSID comes the WEP or WPA-PSK option8. that is your wi-fi password, then modified it and remember the password you use for you will need to enter it on your pc when you are connecting via wireless connection.you can select ASCII for password. it should be alpha numeric or combination of letters and numbers.9. select save and apply. then you are good to go.thanks for choosing fixya and rate this post.

Do you mean the password for the wireless network or the password for the router. If you don't know the wireless network key or the password then you will need to access the router set up and you will find the wireless password there. If you don't know the password to access the router then you will need to reset the router and reconfigure the router. Click Here for step by step solutions

Hello,
If your computer is not properly authenticated to your wireless router or if DHCP is turned off in the router an invalid address or (windows auto configure address of 169.x.x.x) may occur since windows can not find a DHCP server, it assigns its own default address space to your PC.
1. If your PC is connected via wireless make sure you input the correct wep / wpa or wpa2 password. 2. If your PC is connected via cable reboot the router and see if it gets a valid address. If it still doesn't, you may need to reset the router by pressing and holding the reset for min 5 seconds. You may have DHCP disabled which is causing this issue so resetting the router will re-enable that.
Do you have more then one PC connected to your network? Do they all get 169 addresses or just one? If just one has this issue then it could be the network card (try removing it from device manager and reboot the PC so it finds it again and reconfigures it) IF the PC is connected via cable, try another cable. Make sure the PC is connected to a LAN port not a WAN port.
If resetting the router and everything else does nothing, you may need to replace the router.

No lights on router means no power coming in. Check first if you have any loose ends on the power cord. Try plugging your router to another working power outlet as well. Sometimes, electronic equipments can operate much better if plugged in directly to power outlet than to a surge protector. If all of these doesn't work, then it must be a defective router now.

wep key is composed of a hexa decimal a 10 digit number.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH A BELKIN ROUTER I HAD PURCHASED...MY IP DID NOT ACCEPT THIS TYPE OF ROUTER, AND AS MUCH AS THEY COST AT THE STORES, I FOUND IT CHEAPER TO GO THROUGH MY OWN IINTERNET PROVIDER,..TO GET GET THIER ROUTER AND HAD IT ADDED TO MY BILL, IN (3) SMALL PAYMENTS.

YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT YOUR INTERNET PROVIDER FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY MAY NOT ACCEPT (BELKIN)...SURE THE STORE'S WILL TELL YOU DIFFERENT, SO TO GET THERE BONUS...BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO GO THROUGH YOUR IP IF POSSIBLE!

I WOULD TAKE BACK THAT BELKIN ROUTER AND GET YOUR MONEY BACK, AND USE THE MONEY TOWARDS THE ROUTER, THAT YOUR IP ACCEPTS! YOU WILL GET IT IN A MATTER OF (3) DAYS MAX!

HOPE THIS HELPS!

have you tried turning off Wireless Zero Configuration

Go to Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services

Scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration, right clicking properties, and Stopping the service in Service Status.

Do this on all the Pcs,

If this solves the problem, turn off Wireless Zero Configuration permanently by changing Startup type to Disabled

Try to reconfigure your router. Best way is use the CD/DVD included on the package for faster process. tnx

I have exact same problem and the exact same router.

Sure, I can help. First off I need to know more information. Are you planning on connecting the printer, through USB, to your laptop then sharing the printer from there to other computers? If so, it is a matter of adding that printer, going into the printer properties, sharing tab, and sharing the printer. Or are you trying to share your printer wirelessly? If so you may need to buy a wireless print server. It acts as a base to share that printer and then allow you to wirelessly find it and connect. If the above doesn't help please tell me the make and model of your printer, laptop, and wireless router.

You may have to use a paper clip or ball point pen and push the reset button on the back to reset it to default settings. Here is a guide to logging into the router using default settings for a Belkin.
