I have a Belkin FSD7234-4 V4. MY main computer connects to the internet without a problem. When I try to use my laptop it is only finding one network which is asking me for a passphrase. Either it is not picking up my router and ispicking up another one. Or I need to find out the passphrase.

Hi,

To connect to the network in your laptop without entering a PIN code, please follow these steps.

1. Connect the computer to the router with an ethernet cable in one of the grey slot in the router.

2. Open up internet explorer and clear the address bar and type in http://192.168.2.1 and hit enter.

3. You will find a belkin router setup page, In the left hand side under the heading Wireless click on Wifi Protected Setup

4. When it asks you for a password leave it blank and click on submit.

5. There change Wifi Protected setup to disabled and click on apply changes.

6. Then in your laptop connect to the wireless network without any PIN number.



Thanks in Advance!

With Regards,
Prema.

This is part solution, part clarification request: When you say that you installed the setup software on your laptop, setup software for which: the modem, or the belkin router? Also what type of internet service do you have - Cable? DSL? If you are not sure, list your ISP. What operating systems do you have on your laptop and your main computer?

You say that you connected the modem to your main computer - I am assuming that you mean that you connected your modem with a network or ethernet cable (the one with a connector that looks similar to but larger than a telephone's connector) to your computer's ethernet card, or NIC, port. Is anything connected by ethernet cable to the Belkin router? If you have not connected the modem directly to the router, it will not connect to the internet, and anything connecting to the Belkin router will not be able to access the internet as well.

Try this: disconnected the power from your modem, then disconnect power from your router, and disconnect any ethernet cables from computer & modem, or computer and router. Connect an ethernet cable from the modem to the Belkin Router. (Ensure that you have plugged in the ethernet cable on the router into a port that is either set aside from others, or indicates "Internet", WAN, or something similar - it should be marked either with a different color, labled, or both). Now power on your modem. Wait until you see a steady "ready" light, green ethernet light, or the light usually lit for that model indicating it has completed its bootup tests and the internet connection is ready.
Next, ensure the ethernet cable is connected from the modem to correct WAN or "internet" port on the Belkin Router, then power up the router. Once the router boots up completely, plug in a cable from your computer's (main computer) NIC or ethernet card or port, to a port on the Belkin Router (there should be more than one port available, generally numbered "1, 2, 3" and so on - in a group, seperate from the WAN or internet port). Once you are sure you have the cable plugged into one of the correct ports, and if you have windows, restart your main computer.

Now on your main computer, check to see if you have an internet connection. If you do, you can now resume running the router's software setup on your laptop, which sounds as though it was walking you thru the setup process to connect you via wireless connection to the internet. Report back if you have any success, or if you have any further problems, and best of luck! Hope that info helps

If this is the only computer that you are trying to connect then you will need to set up the router from the start.
If the router is already working and there are one or more computer online already then you just need to connect to the network on the laptop.
Is it a wireless laptop or it will be connected to the router with the cable ?

If it is wireless then you will need to connect to the wireless network.

If you connect the computer directly to the modem, does it work?
If that works then the modem is working.
Now connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
You will need to open the set up page of the router to check the settings of the router.
You can set up the router without the CD also.
It is very easy.

Hello,

If wireless adapter on the laptop is fairly old, you may need to update the drivers for the wireless adapter. Some older wireless adapters are not capable of properly communicating with WPA devices. Typically a driver update of the laptop resolves the issue. If not, try another wifi adapter and verify it is not the OS or laptop itself.

Good Luck.

You created it already thats why its asking for it

Check that the wireless drivers are installed properly on both your laptop and desktop. THe certificate error is because your laptop does not "trust" your computer. Under network conections click add a connection ec, and when you try to conect, microsoft should ask you weva to trust the connections from computer to computer that should do it :D

You can set the IP of the laptop to a permanant one so that it does not try and take the same one that the desktop has.. As for the Playstation sounds like a memory error

uplug the ethernet cable and check if your are able t connect wireless

if you still have issue use this guide

Cheers !!!

Depending on the operating system that you are running, and if you have the appropriate wireless cards, you should be able to do this either with or without the modem. If you have the modem connected to one computer, and wireless cards on both computers, then your best option would be to just connect directly from one computer to the next. If you can tell me the answers to these few questions, I can help you get on the right path.

What operating system are you running? Windows XP? Vista? Macintosh?

Do both of your computers have wireless network cards? If not, then which computers have the wireless network, and which computer has the modem?
