I just bought a Belkin Router Model # F5D8236-4. I have everything wired correctly, but the wireless light does not come on. I can't get the internet to come on to the computer I want to connect to? What am I doing wrong?

if you want to remove security key, just reset the router by pressing the hole or reset button and then type in brower 192.168.1.1 and access in your router.then you can assign new security if you want or leave without security. just connect your computer by hard wire and by same wire other end of this wire will connect to router. don't need to do anythig. computer n router knows best everything else what to do.

Sounds like a faulty router or issue with the firmware if it is unaccesible, your best solution is to factory reset the device and try again.

Its dead Jim.

I had one of those. Dead.

You can try hitting the reset button. Looking at the back there should be a small hole with a tiny button. Use a staightened paper clip or other object to hold it in for at least 30 seconds. That should set it back to factory defaults.

Doing that brought mine back to life momentarily , but it kept going out after a couple of hours and I had to repeat the process until it finally gave up the ghost for good.

Run the cd utility to install the soft for your router

check you cable connections, try to check if you can go online wired to the router if you are connecting wirelessly. You can also bypass the router and connect directly to the modem to make sure its working.

You actually have a couple of issues here. Fix these in this order. 1.) Login to router and turn off wireless (if you're not wanting to use wireless) 2.) Connect the ADSL modem CAT5 port to the WAN port of the Belkin router. 3.) Login to router and turn on NAT and make sure DHCP is enabled. 4.) On your Windows machine turn on DHCP under the network settings. This should allow your connection to be setup automatically and stop wireless access on the Belkin router. Let me know if you need more help. JC
