N1 Vision Router: i cannot connect to my belkin router...

Is the Belkin plugged into a power strip or UPS? Try another AC outlet. Has the AC jack,plug in the rear or the Belkin been damaged due to pulling on the AC cord, causing a lose connection? Is your computer shut down at night? No Hibernate, No Sleep? Are their setting for the Belkin to shut down/timeout after a certain idle time? Here's a user manual: http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/f5d8632-4_usermanual.pdf

Disconct wireless devices...connect to pc via cable...Go to SSID settings... change bandwidth from 20/40mhz to 20mhz only ... rebooting issue will be soloved... link speed will show 65-150 Mbps .. bt dont worry.. u will get the whole bandwidth available .... after that reconnect wireless devices ... it wont reboot by itself ...

When you only get 5 mbps are you connecting to the new router wirelessly or via the ethernet cable? If it is wirelessly then try connecting with an ethernet cable and see if you still get 5 mbps. If so then try resetting the router (the procedures for this will be explained in the manual) and re-test. Wireless connections can slow down due to obstacles such as thick walls or other obstacles of that type. If all else fails return the unit and try another.

Step 1: Connect Router - Computer (Wired)

Step 2:Open Router Setup by typing http://192.168.2.1 on the address bar of internet explorer (You can use any Web browser )

Step 3:On the left, under wireless click on channel and SSID (leave the password Blank and click submit )

Step 4: Change the Wireless Channel to 6 ( If its already 6 change it to 11)

Step 5: Click apply changes

Step 6: unplug the Router

Step 7: Restart the Computer

Step 8: Plug the power Cable back to the Belkin

Step 9: Connect to your wireless network

That is there way of saying they don't want to support that router or don;t want to accept their network is having trouble. If you do get another router and still have the same problems then they have no excuses.

Hi Friend,
Please check it by updating the Firmware for your router from the below website

This is a known problem with the Belkin N1 Vision Modem Router. The router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server every 2 hours. The solution is to go to www.belkin.com and download and install the pre-release firmware which is supposed to fix "A problem where the router could drop some connections on 2-hour intervals" among other things.

I have 2 x Belkin N1 vision dsl (cable) routers. One is connected fine with Virgin 20 meg broadband. Is it possible to use the other N1 vision router as a range extender up stairs to get better signal , without using any cat5 cabling ? I.e router-to-router

It might be an idea to upgrade the firmware which can be downloaded from manufacturers' website

Sound like the least road of Pain is to Return it and write down the new code you need to know.

There may be other solutions, but is support is not helping, get another brand. It should not be that hard.
I might suggest Linksys / Cisco
