Thank you for using FixYa
Red or amber lights tells you that something is wrong with the modem, but it could be just the configuration. Be sure you have an internet signal on the line coming into the modem and that the connections are all plugged into the modem/router correctly. Most probable, is that you need to enter the user name and password. Here is a link for the manual for your modem, so you can download it and see for yourself. There are procedures that we need to go through with you at the computer but the first thing is establishing the internet signal. Your Internet provider and help you and send tests to the router from their central office. The phone line could be a problem, the internet signal could be bad and last but not least is the router. We can only see one question at a time that you post, so I suggest you contact your ISP.

Belkin F6D4230 router wireless light flashing orange. IS the router defective?

Solution:

Step 1:
Make sure the that router is connected to your modem with an ethernet cable via the router’s internet (WAN) port.

Step 2:
Unplug the modem from its power source and make sure that it's totally turned OFF. Then re-plug the modem to the power source.

Step 3:
Unplug your router’s power supply, wait for 10 seconds and then plug it back in. This will cause the router to reestablish communication with the modem.

If you still cannot browse the web, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Internet connection setting for Belkin N wirelss modem router

If you can connect to the internet without the connection icon in the system tray, I think its fine. But if you really want to see the blinking icon, go to start>control panel>netweok and internet connection>network connection. There you can see the local area network icon. Right click on it and then properties. A new window will appear, make sure the "show icon in notification area when connected" is checked. Thank you and good day.

Modem router light blinking (no wireless connection) F5D8631-4

Try restoring the Belkin back to the factory default by powering up the Belkin and pressing the RESET button on the back of the Belkin for 7 secs. Then connect a LAN cable from the computer to the Belkin, open IE browser and type the configuration IP address and configure the wireless settings ie. SSID, encryption etc. The computer wireless cards will need to be configured with the Belkin wireless settings to allow them to communicate with the Belkin.
