My Belkin router has stopped working
There was on orange light came on in the middle and the connection kept dropping
I contacted Belkin who told be install their update
Now it wont work at all I have no connection with it
Although all the lights are now lit.
It keeps saying downloading packets But goes on for hpours and no change
I found this page http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread63442.html
and did what it said
( To resolve your issue you need to configure your ip address in LAN (local area connection) manully so that you can log in to your Belkin router to reset back to default setting, and here we go, i assume that you are using windows XP operating system.
Start -->Control Panel-->Network Connection(if you are in Classic View) then Double click on your LAN(local area connection icon) --->Properties click--->go down to TCP/IP Internet Protocol Double click to open properties.
From there you need to switch to Manual IP Address not Automactic IP address by default setting.
In the box of IP Address you need to enter 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask box 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0 there will be one should working.
Default gateway box you need to plug in 192.168.2.1
Don't worry about DNS box , just leave it blank and click OK buttong to save.

Now you care open your browser and type in 192.168.2.1 and you are there. Then you can reset your Belkin back to default settings or if you remembered exactly what have you changed then you can go right there to fix it )
but no change
I can go to my router web interface page but it wont let me do anything - restore settings - go back to old settings I saved etc .
How can I uninstall it and start again please?
Does it save anthing on the computer?
I mean if I get really stuck if I bought a new one would I be able to start again? Or has it wrecked my computer settings?
Urgent help needed for an oldie
Thanks

is there a reset button actually on the router somewhere

 

[etaf]

just read this in the manual there is a reset button

Restoring the Factory Defaults
Press and hold the "Reset" button for at least 10 seconds,
then release it. The lights on the Router will momentarily
flash. The Power/Ready light will begin to blink. When the
Power/Ready light becomes solid again, the restore
is complete.

tried the reset already but theres a orange light that wont go on it
But borrowed a philips router from a friend and cant get that to connect me either so missing something somewhere.

 

[etaf]

can you post how connected - is it adsl or dsl - cable, telephone line
make model of kit

make model of new router

are you sure you have a broadband OK - and the ISP does not have a problem

Router is a Belkin 54g FSD7230 v4uk 6.00.22
It worked well to start with But now it cuts out and is worse if I run 2 computers wirelessly at the same time Just cant cope
I have NTL cable
New router Philips SNB 6500. connected for 5 mins then went
Internet works great without a wireless router

New router Philips SNB 6500. connected for 5 mins then went

so it worked OK with the new router, gained access to internet all OK

is this an NTL with Modem or NTL with TV box ? - post how its all physically connected together

has the Philips also got status lights and what condition are thein

 

[Me22]

Ntl with router
all lights are lit on Philips router
Ethernet cables all in usual place as when it first worked
One from router to modem One from pc to wireless modem

 

[etaf]

Okk lets see if you are really disconnected on the philips

post an ipconfig /all
TWO Methods to do that - some people have problems with ONE----

ONE ---------------------------------
start
run
cmd
ipconfig /all

rightclick in the box
select all
enter
control key + C key - to copy
then reply here and
control key + V to paste

TWO -----------------------------------------------

Start, Run, CMD to open a DOS window and type:

IPCONFIG /ALL >C:\RESULT.TXT

Open C:\RESULT.TXT with Notepad and copy/paste the entire results here.

Dont understand that sorry. But plugged the philips one out at moment as cant get on internetCan just about get on with the belkin router for 5 mins before it cuts out now
So a job to try anything
Just dont understand When we 1st bought the belikn one set up wizard took 5 mins and was fine
This other one just doesnt seem to want to do the same

 

[etaf]

with one router connected and I guess you have powered off everything then power on the modem waited for a min - power on the router wait

tehn on the PC connected tothe router post and ipconfig by following the commands
hopefully with it working

and then when it stops post again
