Try unplugging the router and waiting a minute and plugging it back in. Also, most Belkins have an easy way to upgrade the router. Look at updating the firmware on it!

This is the Belkin support site for your router
http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&pid=f5d8236-4&aid=14394&scid=942

Here you can download a PDF user manual, ask questions or download new firmware. (Thats the SW that runs inside the router)
You will need to look closer at your router to determine whive version of that model you have.
To clear the password and every other setting, back to factory default, find a small recessed button, usually by the power input. You will need a paper clip or pen tip to press and hold it for ten seconds or so.
Good luck

The router's password is a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA orWPA2 encryption key. The Passphrase generates the WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryptionkey and this is in the router's wireless settings. To connect to your wireless router, it needs the router'swireless settings configured ie SSID, WPA or WPA2 encryption key and also thewireless cards in all the laptops and or computers needs to be configured withthese router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktop computers cancommunicate with your wireless router.

Finding your router's WAN IP address

1. Open a web browser on a computer that is connected to the router (wired or wirelessly).
2. In the address bar of the web browser, type http://192.168.2.1 and press Enter on your keyboard.
3. Toward the middle of the page you will see a box of information titled "Internet Settings." This is where you will find your WAN IP address.
   

There is a reset button in the back of the router press it for 5 sec or more

this will reset it to factory settings.

Then you can type the new settings in again.

Hope this was helpfull.

Check out the user manual: http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/man_f5d8236-4_pm01122_7-08.pdf
Around page 41 or 42 will tell you how to setup WPA wireless security (I recommend against doing WEP). Generally to get to the settings page open your browser and type "192.168.2.1" without the quotes. Alternatively, you may be able to download their router setup wizard which will walk you through all the appropriate steps to securely setup your router.

There should be a small reset button on the back of it. Press and hold, or insert a small pointy object into the reset hole and hold for 5-10 seconds.
Your router should be reset.

Hi,
maybe you router reseted to factory default.. then you will have to set up everything again.

Connect your PC with a ethernet cable to the router

1. Go to the commnad line (MS-DOS) Programs ==> Accesories
2. Type "ipconfig"
3. Take note on the numbers in Default-Gateway (something like : 192.168.0.1)
4. Open a web-browser
5. In the address bar type the number that you took note before.
6. Type in username and password the factory default one (sometimes is "admin" and in the password field leave it blank)
7. Configure it again.

Hello,

Here's what I found from the manual

Restoring the Factory Defaults
Press and hold the "Reset" button for at least 10 seconds, then release
it. The lights on the Router will momentarily flash. The "Router" light will
begin to blink. When the "Router" light becomes solid again, the restore
is complete.

Here's a link to the manual as well:

I hope this helps.

Good luck!!

Hello,
You will need to do a factory reset on the router. Unfortunately, you will have to re-configure the router as if you just removed it from the box brand new.
Source: Belkin

1. Locate the reset hole on the router. The button will be on the back or side of the router.
   See images below:

1. Leave the router powered on.
2. Use a paperclip (or similar) to press and hold in the reset button for 10 seconds.
3. Remove the paperclip.
4. Wait approximately one minute for the router to restart.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

If possible, to rule out the modem as the cause, connect a computer directly to the internet(bypassing the router entirely). If it is the router, you could try flashing it back to factory defaults and reconfigure. Log into the router's firewall feature and see if port 443 is blocked to the outside--this could cause https connections to fail.

I assume when you gave the wifi a password you changed it from an open connection to a secured connection. You will most likely need to configure the XBOX internet connection again but now you will need to input the same password as you used on your laptop.

erforming a hardware reset will return your device to factory default. You will loose any custom settings you have added. Click here if you only want to restart your hardware.

Setup steps:

1. Locate the reset hole on the router. The button will be on the back or side of the router.
See images below:

Reset

2. Leave the router powered on.
3. Use a paperclip (or similar) to press and hold in the reset button for 10 seconds.
4. Remove the paperclip.
5. Wait approximately one minute for the router to restart.

The settings for the router have now been reset back to their default.

Your only option is to perform a factory reset on the device (see this link) and set your network up from scratch. And keep your visitors away from your router.

some times if your phone line isnt very good reception will have an affect on the wireless

When you select the connection on the Wireless Network Scanning. Turn it OFF and ON again.

If it shows on the network and is connected.

Just click on it and then on FORGET DEVICE.

Rescan... by ON and OFF again.

Try to put the correct password for router access.
It is probably an incorrect password for granting access to the wireless network.

If it shows on other computers and the network is up and working. You should have no problem.

If the Ipad is not detecting the router, then the problem is on how the network is set up.

You will then have to work with the router settings.

Hope it helps.

God Bless You!!
