Trying to connect my ipad 2 to wi fi via belkin surf n 300 wireless router put password in and message camesup "unable to join the network "Belkin.361B"

Depending on your browser, download or display the pdf of the WNR2000 manual ( http://documentation.netgear.com/wnr2000/enu/202-10397-01/pdfs/FullManual.pdf ). The manual might also be found on the CD that came with the router.Follow instructions Chapter 2 Page 7 to enable/setup WPA2-PSK (AES).Make sure you SAVE/APPLY the settings before proceeding. Follow instructions Chapter 2 Page 17 to Disable Router's PIN. When you do, make sure you leave the box checked to "Keep Existing Wireless Settings".Make sure you SAVE/APPLY the settings before proceeding.Here's a work-around ff the above doesn't fix the issue for you. Sorry I don't have iPad-specific instructions, but I don't have access to an iPad/iPhone at the moment. I've done the following on iPads, iPhones, Android phones and tablets, Windows phones and PC's - it works on virtually all Wi-Fi-capable devices..:
Instead of letting your iPad find the network and trying to connect with the password, try manually creating a new Wi-Fi network connection by typing in your Wi-Fi network name (SSID), selecting WPA2 (AES) encryption and entering the Wi-Fi password your configured in STEP 2 above.Please note: You'll have to forget the Wi-Fi network in your iPad's settings if you keep your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) the same as it is currently.

your kindle device should be able to connect the network automatically , if this is not happening try adding the network manually.
1.First, make sure you are within range of the network you want to add, and that you know the network name and password (if required).
2.From the Home screen, tap Menu and select Settings.
3.Select Wi-Fi Networks to display a list of detected Wi-Fi networks.
4.Tap Join to enter network details.
5.Use the onscreen keyboard to enter the name of the Wi-Fi network that you want to add.
6.Once the Network Name has been entered, tap the Password box and enter Wi-Fi password / Network Key using the onscreen keyboard (if required).
Tip: Tap the 123 key to enter numbers or symbols. Tap the ABC key to return to the regular keyboard. Tap the Shift key (up arrow) to enter uppercase characters. Your password may include non-English letters (accents, umlauts etc.). To view accent options, press and hold a letter down, and accent options appear.
7.Tap Connect

Does all your wireless devices have weak signal issues?If so , Then problem may be with the wireless router.Try changing the wireless channel on the router by logging into the router interface page.
Authentication failed is the message u ll normally get when u enter the password incorrectly.

Go ahead and do some investigating. Does connecting via wired LAN brings any results? Could it be that you're having 2.4GHz interference? Try switching your WiFi channel or moving your router away from large metal objects. If that doesn't work try connecting to your wireless network holding a device close to the antenna, inches away. Does this work? If so, your antenna or WiFi signal amplifier circuit could be dead. You can open your router up and do some further investigating with a multimeter, but if you suspect a hardware failure, it's probably best to not bother opening it up and checking up on your warranty options. Even if that doesn't work out, it's not like routers are super expensive these days.

Follow this instructions:1. connect via hard wired connection (network cable)2. open your internet explorer or any browser.3. type the numbers 192.168.1.1 on the address bar4. you will be routed to your router's settings, type admin for username and admin for password5. look for the basic setup/settings6. look for the wireless settings7. under your SSID comes the 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.9. select saveand apply. then you are good to go.

Touch the "Settings" icon on the home screen of the iPod touch.

Choose the Wi-Fi setting and turn it on. You may need to wait a moment while the device locates available networks.

Select the wireless network you want to connect to (Belkin something). You may have more than one option based on your location. If you are prompted for a password, enter it and touch "Join."

Opt to have your iPod alert you when there is a new network you can join. This can be useful if you are no longer in range of a network you have previously used. To receive these messages, turn on the "Ask to Join Networks" feature.

Tell the iPod touch to "forget" a wireless network that you no longer want to use, so it will not automatically try to connect you. Under the Wi-Fi settings, tap the ">" button next to the network you want to delete and then touch "Forget this network."

Expect that some wireless networks detected by your iPod touch will ask you to sign up for a fee-based service. If this is acceptable to you, open up the Safari application from the home screen. You will be taken to a website that explains the terms of service and accepts credit card payments for wireless Internet access.

Wi-Fi settings determine whether iPhone uses local Wi-Fi networks to connect to the Internet.
Turn Wi-Fi on: Choose Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on.
Join a Wi-Fi network: Choose Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPhone detects networks in range, then select a network. If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks that require a password appear with a lock icon).
Once you join a Wi-Fi network manually, iPhone automatically joins it whenever the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in range, iPhone joins the one last used. When iPhone is joined to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar at the top of the screen shows signal strength. The more bars you see, the stronger the signal. Set iPhone to ask if you want to join a new network: Choose Wi-Fi and turn "Ask to Join Networks" on or off. Join a closed Wi-Fi network: To join a Wi-Fi network that isn't shown in the list of scanned networks, choose Wi-Fi > Other, then enter the network name. If the network requires a password, tap Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and enter the password. You must already know the network name, password, and security type to connect to a closed network. Some Wi-Fi networks may require you to enter or adjust additional settings, such as a client ID or static IP address. You can type it manually by login onto the Belkin's network page using the browser and by copying the static and dynamic IP address.

Resolution If you know there is a nearby Wi-Fi network, but you are unable to locate it on the Settings > Wi-Fi screen:

• Move closer to the Wi-Fi router or hotspot.
• If you are using a personal Wi-Fi network, verify the Wi-Fi router is connected to power and turned on.
• Wi-Fi networks configured as "closed" or "private" do not broadcast the network name to Wi-Fi devices.
  • Join a "closed" or "private" network by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi > Other and entering the Wi-Fi network name, security, and password.

After joining a Wi-Fi network, if you notice the signal strength is low or intermittent

• Move closer to the Wi-Fi router or hotspot.
• Check for any sources of potential interference.
• Remove any cases or attachments on your device that could interfere with a Wi-Fi signal.

If you are unable to access the Internet while connected

• If you are using a commercial Wi-Fi network that requires a special login or subscription, see this article for more information.
• If you are in a location with multiple Wi-Fi networks, verify that you are selecting the correct network.
• Verify that the Wi-Fi network settings are correct:
  • Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
  • Locate the Wi-Fi network you are currently using and tap
    

• You can configure network-specific settings, including IP address, DNS, and Search Domain settings.
• Use "Forget this Network" to reset settings for this particular Wi-Fi network, including the password. This is also useful if you identify a network issue and want to prevent the device from automatically using this network in the future.
• Use "Renew Lease" to acquire new IP address, DNS, and Search Domain information from the Wi-Fi network.
• Note: If the Wi-Fi network uses MAC address filtering, you will need to add the MAC address to the access list for the Wi-Fi router. The MAC address for your device is listed as the Wi-Fi Address in Settings > General > About.

If you are still unable to join a Wi-Fi network, or are unable to access the Internet while connected, try the following

• Restart the device
  • Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.
• Reset network settings by selecting Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings, including passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
• iPhone only: If you continue to experience issues, consider turning off Wi-Fi and using the cellular data connection instead of Wi-Fi.

Additional Information If using a Wi-Fi router at home, refer to your user manual/documentation to assist you with some of these suggestions.

• Check the manufacturer's website for your Wi-Fi router for firmware or software updates.
• Verify the Wi-Fi router can broadcast an 802.11b/g signal. If using a 802.11n Wi-Fi router, consult the manual/documentation for how to configure the Wi-Fi router for 802.11b/g compatibility.
• If you are using multiple WEP keys on your Wi-Fi router, try configuring your Wi-Fi router to use only a single WEP key.
• Try or resetting (or turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router. Note: If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
• Disable wireless encryption or security on the Wi-Fi router to rule out encryption issues. If this resolves the issue, try using a different encryption or security protocol.

You must be sure to what router you are trying to connect. I understand you have a ZyXel and a linksys. You must have 2 wireless networks. Your wireless network must be secured, so you just have to use the correct password. I need more details. Try this http://technicalsupport.blog.friendster.com

Many Wi-Fi issues can be resolved by doing the following:
Basic troubleshooting

• Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
• Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
• Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
• Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
