Troubleshooting

Problem:

The Easy Install Wizard completed, but my web browser doesn’t work.

I am unable to connect to the Internet. The “WAN” light on my Router is blinking, and the “Connected” light is solid.

Solution:

1.If the “WAN” light is blinking, and the “Connected” light is solid, but you are unable to access the Internet, there may be third- party firewall software installed on the computer attempting to access the Internet. Examples of third-party firewall software are ZoneAlarm, BlackICE PC Protection, McAfee Personal Firewall, and Norton Personal Firewall.

2.If you do have firewall software installed on your computer, please make sure that you properly configure it. You can determine if the firewall software is preventing Internet access by temporarily turning it off. If, while the firewall is disabled, Internet access works properly, you will need to change the firewall settings to function properly when it is turned on.

3.Please refer to the instructions provided by the publisher of your firewall software for instructions on configuring the firewall to allow Internet access.

If you are still unable to access the Internet after disabling any firewall software, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
