TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY

Troubleshooting

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.
If the light on the front of the Router is solid blue, then your

Router is connected to the Internet. You may not be connected
to the Router’s wireless network. Please refer to “Connect Your
Wireless Devices” on page 21 of this manual for instructions.

If your Windows XP computer is running SP2, you will
not be able to set up the Router via the wireless setup
process. You will need to either update to Windows XP
SP3 or complete the setup via a wired connection.

47

TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly and my
network name is not listed in Available Networks.

1. Verify that your Router is on and the

front-panel light shows solid blue.

2. If you are far from the Router, you might try moving
closer to see if you might have been out of range.

3. Using a computer attached to the Router via a network cable,
visit http://router/ and ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is ON.
This setting is found on the “Channel and SSID” page.

My wireless network performance is slow, inconsistent,
suffers from weak signal, or I’m having difficulty maintaining a
VPN connection.

Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity
and the throughput performance between devices
decreases when the distance between devices increases.
Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is
generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls
and metal appliances. Note also that connection speed may
decrease as you move farther away from the Router.

In order to determine if wireless issues are related to
range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer
within 10 feet from the Router if possible.

Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local
wireless traffic and interference, switching the wireless
channel of your network can improve performance and
reliability. See the section titled “Changing the Wireless
Channel” for instructions on how to choose other channels.

48

TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY

Limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit

rate can help improve range and connection stability. Most wireless
cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this
property in Windows, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network
Connections”, and double-click on your wireless card’s connection. In
the properties dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General”
tab, then choose the “Advanced” tab and select the rate property.

Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust
the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause
periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as
a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment
with different connection rates until you find the best one
for your environment. Note that all available transmission
rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For
more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.

I’ve installed this new Router and some of my network clients
(computers, game consoles, etc.) are now unable to connect.

Your new Router came pre-configured with a network name and
password, found printed on an attached card. All clients must use this
network name and password to connect wirelessly to your Router.
You will need to find the network settings on your client, select the
network name printed on the card from the list of available networks,
and enter the password when prompted to join the wireless network.

49

TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY

Does the Router support Wireless
Protected Access (WPA) security?

The Router ships with WPA/WPA2 security turned on.
Windows XP and some older network hardware may
require a software update to support WPA/WPA2.

I am having difficulty setting up WPA security on my Router.

1. Log in to your Router by visiting “http://router/” or

“http://192.168.2.1” with your web browser. Click “Security” under
the WiFi heading. You should now be on the Security page.

2. Under Security Mode, select WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK).

3. Select “WPA/WPA2” from the drop-down menu

under the Authentication heading.

4. Enter a password. This can be from 8–63 characters of your choice,
including spaces and punctuation, OR a 64-digit hexadecimal
number (using only the numbers 0–9 and letters A–F).

5. Click “Save” to finish. Your wireless connection is
now encrypted. Each computer using your wireless
network will need to use the new key.

Note: If you are configuring the Router over a wireless
connection, you will have to re-connect to the
Router after changing any security settings.

Note: Some older networking hardware supports
only WEP encryption. If your older computers cannot
connect to your network, try 128-bit or 64-bit WEP, or
seek software updates from their manufacturers.

Belkin Setup cannot connect my Router to the Internet.

If Belkin Setup is not able to connect the Router to
the Internet, please check the following items:

1. Use the troubleshooting suggestions within Belkin Setup.

2. If your ISP requires a user name and password, make sure that

you have typed in your user name and password correctly. Some
user names require that the ISP’s domain may be at the end of the
name. Example: “[e-mail]”. The “@myisp.com” part of
the user name may need to be typed as well as your user name.

3. If you continue to have no Internet connection, refer
to “Manually Configuring Network Settings” in this
manual for an alternative setup method.

Belkin Setup completed installation, but I cannot browse the
Web. The light on the front of my Router is blinking amber.

1. Make sure the Router is connected to the Power Modem with

an Ethernet cable via the Router’s one WAN (modem) port.

2. Make sure that the Power Modem is connected to
the ADSL line, via an ADSL filter if required.

3. Remove the Power Modem from the mains socket. Also unplug
the power jack of the Power Modem from the back of the Router.

4. Plug the Power Modem back into the mains socket, wait 30
seconds, and then reconnect the power jack of the Power
Modem into the back of the Router. This will cause the Router
to try to reestablish communication with the modem.
