No internet connection

I received this solution from Belkin. It worked for me & I hope it does for you. Good luck!

Belkin solution:

Please follow the details given below:
1. Please contact your internet service provider to know the connection type details (Is it PPPOA,PPPOE, Dynamic or static)
2. Belkin router F5D8633 ADSL router works only with ADSL broadband connection and does not support Cable broadband connection.
3. Do not use the Setup CD Assistant; reset the unit and configure it manually. Make sure to set the correct VPI/VCI values in the process as the default settings may not be correct.
4. When using PPPoA, always use VcMux encapsulation, when using PPPoE, always use LLC encapsulation. Keep the VPI and VCI as 0/38.
5. Please follow the instructions given below to configure the router manually:
- Connect the phone line direct to the router, or through the filter.

The simple solution:

On factory reset the VPI and VCI defaults to 1/32, change this to 0/38

Problem solved

I have the exact same problem - worked fine for past 7 months, then "poof - complete fail".
the modem works fine connected directly to PC; once i connect the router i get the orange strobe on "Int. Connection"

UNder the properties section of your wireless connection, make sure the tcp/ip is set to obtain the IP address automatically.... same for the DNS

Hi,
Reset it by putting something sharp like a paper clip into the Reset hole on the back and hold for 15 seconds. Now wait for all the lights to stop flashing and remain on. You should be able to connect now, if not, then change the microfilter or call your ISP and ask them to test the line.

Hope this helps
