Troubleshooting

Problem:

Power LED does not come ON; WURE is not working.

Check your physical connections. If the LED indicators do not light, the WURE may not be connected properly.

Solution:

Verify that the WURE is plugged into a power source. Check to see that the cables are connected to the correct ports and that they are secure.

Note: The WURE can be configured to extend the range of the Belkin Wireless Router and is not guaranteed to be compatible with other manufacturers’ devices.

Problem:

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.

Solution:

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 router. If you’re using a Belkin 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.

2.Open your wireless 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 or green).

3.The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should have a list of available networks—those wireless networks it can connect to.

Does the name of your wireless network appear in the results?

Yes, my network name is listed – go to the troubleshooting solution titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my network name is listed”.
