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:
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 and not blinking.
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.
Power LED does not come ON; Adapter is not working.
If the LED indicators are not ON, the problem may be that the Adapter is not
connected or installed properly. Verify that the Adapter is plugged firmly into the
USB port of your computer. Check to see that the drivers for the Adapter have
been installed. Right-click on the "My Computer" icon on your desktop. Choose
"Properties" and navigate to the "Device Manager" and see if your USB Network
Adapter is listed without any errors. If an error is indicated, contact Belkin
Technical Support.
Link LED is blinking slowly; I cannot connect to a wireless network or the
Internet.
If your Adapter appears to be functioning properly, but you cannot connect to a
network or you have a red wireless icon at the bottom of your screen, the
problem may be that there is a mismatch between the network name (SSID)
settings in your wireless network properties.
Check the SSID settings to see if they match. The SSID is case-sensitive and the
spelling on each computer must be exactly the same in order for the Adapter to
connect to the wireless router (or access point).
Note: To check the SSID settings or look for an available network, double-click
the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the "Wireless Networks" screen. Click "Add"
if you do not see the network you are trying to connect to and type in the SSID.
For more information about setting up an SSID, please reference your router
manufacturer's user manual. If issues persist even at close range, please contact
Belkin Technical Support.
