Page 23: Troubleshooting, Support, And Warranty
Troubleshooting, Support, and Warranty Troubleshooting The Setup CD does not automatically start. If Belkin Setup does not run when you insert the CD‐ROM, your computer may not be configured to open CDs automatically. If Belkin Setup does not appear within 15 seconds, browse to your CD‐ROM drive and open the “Belkin Setup” icon. Alternatively, you may visit http://router/ and perform the setup manually. Please see “Manual Setup Using Your Browser” earlier in this manual for more information. Belkin Setup cannot find my Router. If Belkin Setup is not able to communicate with your Router during the installation process, please check the following items. 1) Make sure that the wireless hardware on your computer is turned on, if available. 2) Try connecting your computer to one of the four “wired” ports on the Router with an Ethernet cable. 3) Ensure that the Router is on. The front‐panel light should be on. 4) Unplug the Router’s power supply for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. 5) There may be firewall software on your computer preventing an outgoing connection. You may choose to temporarily disable this software before attempting setup. If Belkin Setup still cannot find the Router, you might choose to do a manual setup. Refer to “Manually Configuring Network Settings” in this manual for details. Belkin Setup cannot connect my Router to the Internet. If Belkin Setup is not able to connect the Router to the Internet, please check the following items:... - Page 24 If you have a static connection, your ISP will have assigned you an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Please re-run Belkin Setup and enter this information when a static connection is mentioned.
- Page 25 You may need to configure your Router to meet the specific requirements of your ISP. To search our knowledge base for ISP-specific issues, go to: http://www.belkin.com/support and type in “ISP”. 5) If you continue to have no Internet connection, refer to “Manually Configuring Network Settings” in this manual for an alternative setup method.
- Page 26 I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly and my network name is not listed in Available Networks. 1) Verify that your Router is on and the front‐panel light shows solid blue. 2) If you are far from the Router, you might try moving closer to see if you might have been out of range. 3) Using a computer attached to the Router via a network cable, visit http://router/ and ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is ON. This setting is found on the “Channel and SSID” page. My wireless network performance is slow, inconsistent, suffers from weak signal, or I’m having difficulty maintaining a VPN connection. Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances.
- Page 27 Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the best one for your environment.
