    I am also facing same problem

  • jonseyi Mar 04, 2008

    The card and router are both Belkin N1, No's F5D8071 (card) and F5D8231. When I contacted belkin they told me to try changing my wireless security settings but i would have thought that if that was the problem then the mac would only run at 54 also.


    Regards

    Problem solved, changed the security authentication to wpa-psk and the encryption technique to aes instead of tkip. Now getting 300mbps steady with the n1 card on the xp laptop and 150 on the vista with the built in wireless.

These caards and wireless router can be tricky.  The problems you are encountering may have to do with the brand of the router and card.  If they are mde by diff. manufacturers or the speed on the box is different than the router, then it will be slower.  Is your card 801.1 or a tiny bit different?  Make sure they are the same number.  Otherwise, you may have to make do with the different speeds, or else, call your isp to upgrade

routers has to be turned off atleast 2 hours per day for it to work properly... so better turn off the router when not in use, this will clear the routing table of your router and will make the router to work as a fresh router everyday, so you wont face any speed problems.

My belkin N1 vision, keep disconnecting from internet. my landline pc works fine. i am only having the problem when connecting with my laptop. i am using a mac book pro with mac os x latest edition. thanks

My N1 Vision does the same thing, If you turn off the guest account, you should find its ok. Only when this Guest account is on, thats when it disconnects. Hope this helps. John

Belkin N1 Wireless Modem Router I cannot connect to Tiscali HELP

I had this with Bt Internet and this exact same router, you have to phone Belkin up and they give you a complete set of new settings that you manually have to put in during setup. If i remember rightly its a free phone number and the operator who answered spoke semi-english so not all bad, hope this helps.

Belkin N1 wireless router

FixYa's Maanita was no help whatsoever, and worse, a complete waste of time.  I called Belkin who's tech guided me to the problem in ten minutes, whereas I wasted an hour and a half with FixYa.
