I have a main pc downstairs with a wireless rooter attatched to it, and then I have my laptop upstairs with a belkin wireless USB network adapter connected to it. The internet connection keeps on breaking up, and I keep having to go downstairs to make sure all the green lights on the wireless rooter are on, and then sometimes the internet comes back on, but this is only for about five minutes or so, until the connection breaks again. The light on the wireless adapter is on all the time, but my internet hardly ever works on my laptop, and on the downstairs pc it works a little bit better but is still not reliable.
This sounds like it is probably the networking cables as your PC is directly connected so shouldnt have problems with net access. Get new cables as a first step :0)

hi my belkin f5d7230-4 has all the lights on, the internet is directly into this via cables to 2 pcs, yet my internet will not work at all.
this is a fairly new router. when the broadband is only via the modem the internet works fine.
please help
Take the laptop down and put it right next to the router. Try it for a while, if that solved the problem, the laptop is not getting a good enough signal from the router. If that is it, you need a better router and adapter on the laptop.
That that doesn't help, it might be a bad Internet provider. Where I am, it is often both of those problems at once.
Since it is so unreliable on the desktop p.c., it does sound like both problems. Still, try putting the laptop next to the router.
May need to replace the modem, but I'd call the ISP (Internet Service Provider) first to see what diagnostics they can do. Be aware that some ISP's will NEVER admit it is their fault.
