Troubleshooting

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly

If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer, please check the following items:

1.Look at the lights on your wireless router. If you’re using a Belkin Wireless Router, the lights should be as follows:

•The Power light should be on.

•The Connected light should be on, and not blinking.

•The WAN light should be either on or blinking.

If your Belkin Wireless Router’s lights have the above characteristics, go to step 2 below.

If this is NOT the case, make sure:

•The Router’s power cord is plugged in.

•All cables are connected between the Router and the modem.

•All the modem’s LEDs are functioning correctly. If not, see your modem’s user manual.

•Reboot the Router.

•Reboot the Modem.

If you continue to have issues, please contact Belkin

Technical Support.

If you are not using a Belkin Wireless Router, consult that router manufacturer’s user guide.

2.Open your Wireless Client Utility software by clicking on the icon in the system tray at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen. If you’re using a Belkin Wireless Card, the tray icon should look like this (the icon may be red, yellow, or green):

3.The Belkin Wireless Client Utility window will display the available networks in the Network List window. Available networks are wireless networks you can connect to.

If you are using a Belkin Pre-N Wireless Router, the default name is Belkin Pre-N.

If you are using a Belkin 802.11g (125 High-Speed Mode) Wireless Router, or Belkin 802.11g (54g) Wireless Router, “Belkin54g” is the default name.
