hello i have a belkin f5d7230-4 and in device manager the belkin router is there but it has a yellow exclamation mark on it i got to a point where it said this device cannot start please help
Are you saying that when you try to connect to the router through Internet Explorer or another Program to access the internet it tells you "Device Cannot Start"?
ok it says connected in the bottom right corner but when i try connect to the internet it does not bring up a web page
Do you have a Installation CD? If you do not have one you need to get the Software from the Belkin Website. Here is the directlink Download
Pizat, I think you need to be a little more specific on what you have setup. 1) What kind of internet connection do you have? Is it ASDL? (the kind you have to use a modem connected to a phone socket via a little splitter), is it Cable? or any other kind of internet connection? 2) How was you PC connected to the internet before you got this router? 3) How is your router connected to your PC right now? Ethernet? etc 4) Are you using Vista / XP? If you supply the information above we may be able to help you.
ok sorry about that i do not have a house phone so i am using windows xp pro and i have the modem connected to the router via ethernet ( all the connections are correct as i have rung belkin who were not helpfull ) i can only get internet acces via a blue usb which goes into my pc then into my modem but without that i cannot access the internet as yet
OK so you have the internet modem connected to your router (Is this plugged into the port on the back on the far left hand side as you look at the back of the router?). How do you connect to your router? are you connecting your PC to it using a USB to ethernet adapter??
i plug in my router then it says connected 100mbps but i cannot get internet access without the blue usb cable which goes from my pc's usb port into the modem
So you connect your modem to your PC via the blue usb lead?.... What modem do you have?.... is there a manufacturer? model number?
sorry i am confusing myself here the modem is conneceted to the router via ethernet into the 1st port on the left and then the routher is connected to the pc via ethernet
yes but it gets to finding an internet connection and it cannot find one but in the bottom right of my pc it says connected 100mbps i have disabled firewall and anti virus
ok..... ensure you have connected everything as you asy you have, and goto the router setup page in internet explorer (http://192.168.2.1). On the toolbar on the left you have an option for Internet WAN. Click on the connection type. If it asks you to enter a password, leave it blank and wait for the next screen to appear. What setting is selected for your WAN internet connection? PS who is your internet provided with?
OK. that is the correct setting. Next can you try typing in an IP address in internet explorer instead of a web address? For eaxmple type in http://212.58.224.131 in internet explorer Also try going to the command prompt and try pinging the above IP address. Start > Run "cmd". then.... ping 212.58.224.131 You will get a result similar to ....
