My neighbor is stealing use of my Belkin Router to connect to the internet. How do I stop him?
If you do not have any wireless network security enabled on the router,
your neighbor can see this SSID and connect to the network without
authorization. While this is generally frowned upon as being unethical,
it is technically not illegal as you have "made the network available"
by failing to secure it. The easiest way to secure the network is
through the use of a WEP key or a WPA pass-phrase. WEP keys are
generally 5, 10, 13 or 26 randomly generated characters long. WPA
pass-phrases are just that - a phrase such as "The sun is yellow".
Either method will prevent unauthorized users from accessing your
network. Only those individuals who possess the key or pass-phrase are
granted access.
These options is located under the Wireless > Wireless Security tabs from within the router administration.After login you can change the password.

You may want to check if the wireless switch is "ON"
on the laptop most wireless ready laptops has either a
button or toggle switch to enable the wireless radio..
if it's already enabled and you still cant connect to
the wireless network,try changing the wireless channel
from the router.

You should be aware of a class action lawsuit that Belkin and the complaintent settled recently. The lawsuit was filed complaining that certain Belkin routers did not obtain optimal speeds as advertised.
Belkin has agreed to provide affected customers a discount program to purchase a new router. You will need to search elsewheres for the details.

There are a few things that can cause you to lose wireless connection with your wireless router.
1. Weak signal strength, check the signal strength on your wireless card. If it is weak move the wireless router away from walls and if possible locate the wireless router higher up.
2. Have you secured your wireless router from people near your from unauthorized access? Ie. change the default password, setup encryption use WAP2 or WAP, change the default SSID, and turn off SSID broadcast, and for added protection, enable MAC address filtering which allows only the MAC address/es of your wireless card/s to connect to your wireless router.
3. You could be getting interference from electrical sources such as air conditioners, ard welders, washing machines etc. If so the power supply to the wireless routers and computers etc should be connected to a surge protection power board, better still connect your computer equipment to an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) .
4. Check the channels of the wireless routers and access points in your area and and change the broadcast channel on your wireless router to an unused channel or one that has the weakest signal strength. This will minimize the interference with your wireless router from the wireless routers and access points in your area.

your user name and password have been entered incorrectly, they are case sensitive and must be exact. Make sure your ADSL settings are set at 0/38 (you'll see where)
