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 number 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.
