Belking wireless router can't see my comcast cable modem

Connect the ethernet cable from back of cable modem to the LAN port on the back of the Belkin Router. Next you will need to run another Ethernet cable from port 1 of the router to a computer. Type in the address "192.168.1.1" or "192.168.0.1" into the address bar on Internet Explorer and setup your SSID for the network and any security you want on the network (optional but recommended). Once this is complete you will only need to connect to the network (the SSID you chose during setup) on your PC.

LAN port on Comcast modem <-- Ethernet cable --> WAN port on the Belkin router

LAN port on the Belkin <-- Ethernet cable --> network port on your computer

Turn off the HP and see if anything changes - you might have a bandwidth problem with Comcast.

Please follow the below steps,
(1) What type of cable you are using between your Belkin Wireless Router. If you are using a cross cable which I suspect then replace it with a straight cable. You can easily get it from Computer hardware stores and sometimes in super markets. If you do not know how to check weather a cable is straight or cross please look at the connectors of both sides of the cable from downside up. If the position of small tiny colorful wires are identical in both connectors than it is straight which we need. If the position is not identical than it is cross cable and we do not need it. It will not work properly for you.
(2) You should set the IP address to automatic in My Network/Network properties.The same for DNS.
(3) You should know the IP of the Belkin Wireless router and you should be able to ping it with the cable on.

This much configuration is required from the PC side.

(1) If you look carefully around the Belkin Wireless router you will find a pin whole. This pin whole is used to reset the settings to default by poking a pointed object like a pin. Make sure the wireless router remains powered on during this.
(2)After this if you still face connectivity problems. Try replacing with another Wireless Router just to check if the connectivity or QoS improves. If it does, you can be sure that the problem is with your Belkin wireless router.

Good Luck!

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the port on the Comcast modem to the WAN port on the Berklin (Belkin????) router.
Use another Ethernet cable to connect one of the LAN ports on the router to the Ethernet port on your computer.
Start Internet Explorer on your computer.
Connect to the web-interface inside the router.
Run the "network setup wizard".
Run the "wireless setup wizard".

Yes, it will go Cable or DSL modem, router, then computer either wirless or hardwired

Hope this helps, please rate accordingly if it did

Thanks,

Check my tip
Using Router and Wlan adapter from different brand (Dynex + Belkin) is sometime calling for trouble: you must configure both to be sure to be on same standard (or change Both).
I'm using Netgear + Belkin and tune is not easy
On router config check radio power, reduce the used standard (B/G A/N) to the only one used by Belkin adapter (N).
Be sure you removed Windows zero wireless configuration (= use windows to manage my connection= OFF)
edit your belking wireless networking utility to automatic reconnect:



try downgrading to G standard from router side
Check your network connection plugging your laptop to router via lan cable.and check network params (DHCP DNS etc.).
Then check wlan connection near router, if you experience wlan drops only when far from router, find any possible interferences source (Microwave, cordless, remote) remove it or be ware you cannot have wlan when your wave is working.

Comcast has a little known "trick" that they use when setting up users. Here's how it works:

When Comcast first comes to setup your new cable modem service, they insist on connecting it to your computer and "testing" it. Most people think nothing of it, and that it's good customer service ...truth be told, what they are doing is attaching your computer's MAC address to that cable modem, so that you cannot create a wireless network. This is because they want you to pay them $150 to do this for you.

In this situation, since the modem is a modem/wireless router in one, my guess is that the MAC address on your machine now does not match the MAC address on the new router, which is what Comcast has stored in their database(s).

Try this: on your computer (while connected to the modem), perform a release on your IP address (start, run, cmd, then type "ipconfig /release"). Disconnect the ethernet cable from the computer. Turn computer off completely. Hold down the reset button on the cable modem until it performs a reset. Once it's back up and running, boot up your computer with the cable back in the ethernet port.

The cable modem should assign a new address to your computer. However, that may or may not work ...this is an easy workaround with a Linksys router, but not necessarily with the all-in-one devices.

Worst case scenario: contact Comcast and notify them that the new modem is not recognizing your computer's MAC address and that it needs to be updated in their system. They will scan your computer (through the telnet interface on your modem) and get your computer's MAC address, then (hopefully) make the necessary changes on their end.

After that, everything should work flawlessly. If not, insist on a Comcast tech to "fix" the service that you are paying for.

Good luck - hope this helps :)

If router is brand new you should have a set up disk. the set up disk will walk you through it or you might log onto Belkin site to see a walk through set up. If you can access internet from modem to router to internet. That means router is functioning properly. To go completely wireless you will need to secure your network and setup your access codes. Definitely use the setup disk to do this. A unsecured wireless network is a nightmare waiting to happen. Good luck

yes of course you need a wireless router for that. wireless router are for wireless network (desktop pc also needs WAN)
