Note: This article will show you how to setup Belkin router manually and connect your computer to the wireless network, you can always use installation CD for configuration, if that fails you go through the manual process.
Basic step before proceeding with any of the troubleshooting steps lets power-cycle modem and router
- Unplug the power cord of your Internet Modem
- Power off the router by unplugging the Belkin router from the power outlet (electric wall socket) as well. (IMPORTANT: Leave both the devices off for at least 60 seconds)
- Then power on Internet modem first by plugging power cord back in and wait for 60 seconds until all the lights gets steady.
- Once you see all the lights lit on the modem power on your Belkin router by plugging the power adapter into an electric outlet.
Now see if you can access internet if not reboot your computer and check for internet connectivity. This is the easiest workaround to fix any modem-router issues.
Let’s say you’ve lost your original CD or your unable to setup router using CD, Still you can configure your Belkin wireless G plus router manually using the web interface (GUI).

PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU HAVE A DISK OR SOMETHING THAT CAN SHOW ME STEP BY STEP BECUSE I HAVE NEVER HOOKED UP A ROUTER ESPECIALLY ONE THAT GOES TO ONE THAT IS ALL READY SETUP AND RUNNING. THANK’S SIGNED “IN NEED”
Hi Craig,
You are right. Connect a cable to the back of your computer to Ethernet port and connect other end to the belkin router (there are 4 LAN ports)connect to any one of this port.
Now, connect BRIGHTHOUSE modem cable directly to Internet/WAN port of your Belkin router and follow the above steps.
HI ADMIN I DID THE FIRST PART NO PROBLEM.I CONNECTED THE ETHERNET PORT FROM THE BACK OF MY COMPUTER TO THE BACK OF THE ROUTER BOTH PORTS MARKED IN YELLOW. NOW THE PROBLEM COMES. HOW CAN I HOOK UP THE MODEM CABLE,IT’S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE? ALL I WANT IS TO RUN WIRELESS INTERNET IN MY BEDROOM.THE COMPUTER HAS A MODEM INSIDE OF IT SO I GOT THE ROUTER THINKING THAT I COULD PICKUP THE WIRELESS INTERNET FEED THAT IS RUNNING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE WAS I WRONG? SIGNED CONFUSED. P.S. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
Your computer needs to be hardwired only during the router setup. Once you configure router, you can remove the cable and access wireless internet.

I have a spare Belkin Wireless G Router which I intended to connect to my Samsung lcd tv via wired lan cable. My plan is to connect the belkin wirelessly to my main Linksys wrt610n wireless router and use wired cable from my samsung tv to belkin wireless g router. Is this possible? thanks in advance!
Hi,
In-order to do that you have to convert your Belkin Router to an Access point (follow this link). You can also make use of Samsung WIS09ABGN LinkStick Wireless LAN Adapter so that you can connect to Linksys router directly.
Thank you for your help! After I setup the belkin wireless G router as access point, how can I connect wirelessly to my main wireless Linksys wrt610n?

This is really helpfull, but I can’t go to http://192.168.2.1/ .. it says that the server at 192.168.2.1 is taking too long to respond.
What should I do?!?!?!
Please help me!
Make sure you have cable connected firmly (router to the computer). Type http://192.168.2.1 in Internet explorer or by going to Start and RUN window. If your still getting the same error- you need to reset your router.
I have everything hooked up correctly, I even reset my router. every time I put the chords in the correct place, I still can’t get on http://192.168.2.1 at all. I feel like I’m out of options.

Hey, my question is that how can i get a software for my Belkin wireless router its asking me for a password nd idk the password HELP ASAP
Thank You Juan Carlos….
I followed this process because I am unable to find the CD to be able to re-install my wireless connection. When I log on to the Belkin page via the IP address provided I am currently showing a connected status via landline internet connection; however, when I change my connection as the instructions provided (Cable Broadband user and cloning my Mac address) I lose my connected status. The wireless connection is no longer able to connect to my wireless SSIN on the basis of the wireless security settings not matching.
When I hook up my computer directly from my cable modem, I can use ethernet. But when I hook up through my Belkin router, it says that ethernet is not connected. How do I fix that?

Error “communication with the server failed. a dns error has occurred (80410410)”
Hi Suyog,
Login to the router with default ip 192.168.2.1 and change the wireless channel number to 1,9 or 11, I guess signal strength is not enough to connect to PSP.
If your network is password protected then change security from WEP to WPA or WPA to WEP (Wireled Equivalency Privacy). Disable the Belkin router firewall and WPS (Wifi Protected Setup) option of router and see if you can connect. You can also enter the MAC address of PSP manually configure the connection.
i have Belkin F5D7234-4-H i want to use it as a wifi router at home do i need modem or i can put LAN cable and use it? i dont have CD… any help?
Who is your Internet service provider? If its a cable connection you can connect directly and use it, Please follow the steps mentioned above, you don’t need a CD for setup.
Hi,
I recently bought a Belkin N300 Router, and lost the CD. I’ve tried configuring it with the help of this article 4 times now.
The steps seem simple and easy, but when i click connect at the end, a message saying: “The server closed the connection without sending any data.” appears.
Now, i don’t know what the problem is. My net is completely stable, all wires are intact, the modem is brand new.
Also, i noticed that even after saving changes and all that, the WAN IP, DNS, Sub-net and all that under Internets settings on the Belkin site all show 0.0.0.0 even after saving changes.
Please help. I am in distress.
Hi Pawan,
Don’t worry about it, Try Belkin Router Reset and then call up your Internet service provider and ask them for basic setup details. I am not sure what kind of connection your using.
Okay, so i called my isp call center and followed your instructions thoroughly. Finally, i was able to setup wifi for my primary laptop (for which i couldnt thank you enough!)
However, when i try to connect using other laptops/i phone, device gets connected to router, but not the internet. I have confirmed that my connection is PPPoe type. The thing is, even post configuration i need to connect to internet from my primary laptop through the isp client by filling in id password etc.
So, now the problem is due to my router settings or is the isp responsible?

I have a Windows XP PC and a MacBook OSX Lion connected wirelessly through a Belkin Wireless G+MIMO Modem Router (F5D9630uk4A). Both can access the internet with no problems. I have tried to link the wirelessly through a Workgroup to be able to share files and for the Mac to use the USB printer connected to the PC. While I can see the Mac occasionally on the PC’s Workgroup window, I’m told that the Mac is not accessible. I can’t see the PC from the Mac, even though I have configured both for file sharing. If I connect the Mac to the router using ethernet I can see the PC’s files on the Mac and the Mac’s files on the PC. Please advise me on what to do!!

Had been using Belkin wireless for my company-provided computer, running off our charter bundled service (only 1 line into the house). Had to get new work PC sent to me, lost several hours with help desk until revealed new PC is not Wi-Fi ready, also will not install drivers for my adaptive keyboard. Both were used without trouble until now. New work PC is hard-wired to Charter service, can’t reverse Belkin wireless connection for our home PC, so no home PC Internet to even troubleshoot. Help!
