Universal solution is to type the model number and the word "manual" into Bing search (or Google). Something should turn up.

well, you were close with addresses you typed in.
The correct one for belkin is: 192.168.2.1
However, if it's asking you for the passkey, then you probably have to reset the router to factory default...i.e. no security settings or password at all.

But, before you do that, go to one of the 192.168 pages, whichever one asked for a passkey, and just leave the box blank and press enter, see if that allows you access to the router.

That is what it will be if you haven't ever given it a passkey of your own.

I hope this info is helpful, but if you have to, then perform a reset of the router.

To do this, , with the power on you will need to push in and hold the reset button for 10-15 seconds. The hole for the reset button will be located on the back or on the side of the unit, it is a small hole, so you will need to use a paper clip
Afetr 10-15 seconds of holding the button in, remove the paper clip, and wait 60 seconds.

Your router is now reset back to factory original

yes you connect your modem , via ethernet to the back of router

A quick way is to go to Control panel / Network and sharing/ view computers and devices (this can also be accessed by the little icon on the taskbar with two monitors over each other)
You will then be able to go to view computers and devices. In this box, you will see the router iceon and all the computers etc that are using the router (that are currently connected).

To see if someone not known to you has accessed the router, you would need to log onto the router address and check the security settings.

If you are concerned about your wireless connection being hacked, look in the Cd that came with the router and follow the instructions given to set up a WEP or WPA security key.

From what you describe in your question, I think that the network you are seeing is probably a network belonging to someone else, your router will "see" all other networks in the radius it can operate in, if you look at these, most will be security marked anyway, you cannot connect to them.

If yours is not secured, setting the WEP key is the only way you will stop someone logging on and using your connection

change the password

Hello,

Your router might need a firmware update. Log on to www.belkin.com/support and enter your product details with the version number(ex. v1 v2 or v3) and download the latest firmware. Once that is done log on to your router interface on your wired computer and type http://192.168.2.1 on the browser. You will now enter the interface. Towards the left side click on firmware update and browse the file u downloaded and update it. After the update power down your modem and router for 2 minutes and power it back up.Everything would be working fine.
(PS: The router interface has a login password. By default it will be empty so just hit enter unless you have changed it.)

Hope this helped.

you need to set port forwarding see below.

Once you open the set up interface of the router, you will be able to find the settings on the router where you can open the ports for the particular program.
If you are opening the ports for a special device in your network, then you must know the IP address of that device.
For example, wireless camera, DVR, X-box, Play station ...
You can choose the option PORT FORWARDING for a special device application.
If you just want to open the ports for all the network, then you can choose PORT TRIGGERING

For Linksys Router.

You have opened the set up interface of the router. You will see Application and Gaming TAB at the top.
If you click on that tab you will find different Sub tabs.
Click on Port Triggering => Here you can open the port numbers for the network.
Click On Port forwarding if you want to open the ports for a special device in the network.
Click Save settings once you open the ports on the router.

For D-link router

You have opened the set up interface of the router.
You will see Network settings in the left hand side panel of the page.
Click on Network settings and go to the Advanced TAB at the top.
Now you will find the option. Pot Forwarding in the left hand panel.
Here you can open the ports on the router.

BELKIN wireless router

You have opened the set up interface of the router.
Click on Virtual Servers under Firewall in the menu on the left
Click Enabled. Type a general description of the application i.e.. Remote Desktop. Type the port(s) specified by the program manufacture for both of the Inbound port fields. Select TCP, UDP, or BOTH for the Type.Private IP address: Enter the IP address of the computer you want grant access too. Type the port(s) specified by the program manufacture for both of the Private port fields.Click the Apply Changes button.

NETGEAR Router.

You have opened the set up interface of the router.
Click on Port Triggering under Advanced menu.
Change the value of Port Triggering Timeout as 20 Click on Add Service. Specify a Unique/User Defined name under Service Name. Ex: Mails, VPN. Specify the Service User as Any (if all the computers in the network are port triggered or if a single computer on a network is port triggered specify the IP address of the computer). Select the Service Type of the port to be triggered
Ex: TCP . Specify the Trigger Port (The port to be triggered). Select the Connection Type of Inbound Connection. Specify the Starting and Ending Port for Inbound Connection. Click Apply to accept changes. Your router is now set up for port triggering..

In order to get your router back to the original settings, you must push in the reset button (usually on the back of the router) for somewhere between 10 and 30 seconds depending on the router. You may need a pin or something small to push in the button, because it can be recessed. Once you have reset the router, the username and password will be changed to the defaults, admin and password, respectively. One thing you must remember is that resetting the router will change all of the router settings back to the factory settings. This means you will lose all of the changes you made since you got the router. Make sure to write down any things you've changed, so you can change them back after the reset. Also, I recommend updating to the latest firmware after the reset.

access the configuration utility, open a web-browser such as Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the router (192.168.2.1).

Leave the password blank, it is the default.

Click on the wireless on the left hand column.

You will see your key under security tab.

Keep in mind that a wireless router is a low-power radio station. As such, the same things that can affect any station may cause signal problems.

The biggest influence is location. The materials and construction techniques used in your home may be cutting into the signal strength, so you may need to relocate the router. The best place is somewhere centrally located, so the distance to any wireless computer is roughly the same. Sometimes moving the router just a foot or so can make a big difference.

It's also possible your wireless network is using the same radio channel as another in the vicinity, and interference is causing problems. Most wireless networks in the US and Canada use channels 1, 6 or 11, and channel 6 is a popular default channel for a router. Change your channel setting in the router, and this may help. (Note that the channel setting is in the router and not in your wireless computer. The adapter in the computer automatically switches channels so it can locate and connect to different networks.)

A third (and remote) possibility is that the wireless adapter in your computer isn't working properly. I have seen computers say low signal when they were in the same room as the router, and a new adapter was the cure. Try moving the router and switching channels first, though, as that will likely take care of the trouble.

I think resetting the router to the factory defaults may fix the issue. Generally, after resetting to defaults, the router works fine, however, you have to setup security key etc.
First, to reset the router to factory default setting, press and hold the reset button for few seconds (It is at the back of the router). The LEDs will then blink and the routers factory settings wouls be restored.

Please note that after RESETTING THE ROUTER to defaults, ALL SETTINGS WILL BE LOST AND YOU HAVE TO RECONFIGURE IT. Generally, after hard reset you get the connectivity, however, you have to make the connection secure etc.
Please, refer the product guide/manual and make configurations as per the details provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).


GoodLuck!
Dont forget to appreciate the solution if I could have been of any help!
