Troubleshooting
Problem:
Easy Install cannot find my Router
Solution:
If the Easy Install Wizard is not able to find the Router during the
installation process please check the following items:
1. If the Easy Install Wizard is not able to find the Router during
the installation process, there may be 3rd party firewall software
installed on the computer attempting to access the Internet.
Examples of third party firewall software are ZoneAlarm,
BlackICE PC Protection, McAfee Personal Firewall, and Norton
Personal Firewall.
If you do have firewall software installed on your computer,
please make sure that you properly configure it. You can
determine if the firewall software is preventing Internet access
by temporarily turning it off. If, while the firewall is disabled,
Internet access works properly, you will need to change the
firewall settings to function properly when it is turned on.
Please refer to the instructions provided by the publisher of your
firewall software for instructions on configuring the firewall to
allow Internet access.
2. Unplug power to the Router for 10 seconds, and then plug the
3. Ensure that you have a cable (use the cable included with the
router) connected between (1) the network (Ethernet) port on the
back of the computer and (2) one of the LAN ports, labeled “1”
through “4”, on the back of the router.
Note: the computer should NOT be connected to the port
labeled “Internet/WAN” on the back of the router.
4. Try shutting down and restarting your computer, then re-running
the Easy Install.

is on; it should be solid green. If not, check to make sure that
the AC adapter is connected to the router and plugged into a
wall outlet.
Troubleshooting
Problem:
Easy Install cannot connect my Router to the Internet
Solution:
If the Easy Install Wizard is not able to connect the Router to the
Internet, please check the following items:
1. Use the troubleshooting suggestions within the Easy
Install Wizard. If the troubleshooting screen does not open
automatically, click on the “Troubleshoot” button in the lower
right-hand corner of the Easy Install Wizard window.
2. If your ISP requires a user name and password, make sure that
you have typed in your user name and password correctly. Some
user names require that the ISP’s domain may be at the end of
the name. Example: “myname@myisp.com”. The “@myisp.com”
part of the user name may need to be typed as well as your
user name.
If you continue to have no Internet connection, reference the
section titled “Manually Configuring Network Settings” (page 89

on my Router is off, and the “Connected” light is blinking
Solution:
If you cannot connect to the Internet, and the “WAN” light is off,
and the “Connected” light is blinking, the problem may be that your
modem and router are not connected properly.
1. Make sure the network cable between the modem and the
Router is connected. We strongly recommend using the cable
that was supplied with your Cable or DSL modem for this
purpose. The cable should be connected at one end to the
Router’s “Internet/WAN” port, and at the other end to the
network port on your modem.
122
Troubleshooting
2. Unplug the Cable or DSL modem from its power source for 3
minutes. After 3 minutes plug the modem back into its power
source. This may force the modem to properly recognize
the router.
3. Unplug the power to your Router, wait 10 seconds, and then
reconnect the power. This will cause the router to re-attempt
communication with the modem.
If the “WAN” light on the Router is not lit after completing these
steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support.

Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly
Solution:
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 Router. If you’re using a Belkin
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.
2. Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in the
system tray at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. If
you’re using a Belkin wireless card, the tray icon should look like
this (the icon may be red or green):
3. The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model
of wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should
have a list of “Available Networks” – those wireless networks it
can connect to.
Yes, my network name is listed – go to the troubleshooting solution
titled “ I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my network
name is listed”
No, my network name is not listed - go to the troubleshooting solution

Troubleshooting
Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my network name
is listed
Solution:
If the name of your network is listed in the “Available Networks” list,
please follow the steps below to connect wirelessly:
1. Click on the correct network name in the “Available
Networks” list.
2. If the network has security (encryption) enabled, you will need to
enter the network key. For more information regarding security,
see the page entitled: Setting up wireless security
3. Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower left-hand
corner of your screen should turn green, indication a successful
connection to the network.
Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my network name is
not listed
Solution
If the correct network name is not listed under “Available
Networks” in the wireless utility, please attempt the following
troubleshooting steps:
1. Temporarily move computer, if possible, five to ten feet from
the Router. Close the wireless utility, and re-open it. If the
correct network name now appears under “Available Networks”,
you may have a range or interference problem. Please see the
suggestions discussed in the section titled “Placement of your
Wireless Networking Hardware” of this user manual.
126
Troubleshooting
2. Using a computer that is connected to the Router via a network
cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast SSID”
is enabled. This setting is found on the Router’s wireless
“Channel and SSID” configuration page.
If you are still unable to access the Internet after completing
these steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
Problem:
My wireless network performance is inconsistent
Data transfer is sometimes slow
Signal strength is poor
Difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual Private Network
(VPN) connection
Solution:
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we
suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to ten
feet from the router.
Changing the wireless channel - Depending on local wireless
traffic and interference, switching the wireless channel of your
network can improve performance and reliability. The default
channel the router is shipped with is channel 11, you may choose
from several other channels depending on your region; see page
47 - “changing the wireless channel” for instructions on how to
choose other channels.
Limiting the wireless transmit rate - Limiting the wireless
transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and
connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit
the transmission rate. To change this property, go to the Windows
Control Panel, open the Network Connections and double-click on

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. As a result, the
typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100
to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you
move further from the Router or Access Point.

your wireless card’s connection. In the properties dialog, select
the configure button on the General tab (Windows 98 users will have
to select the wireless card in the list box and then click properties),
then choose the advanced tab and select the Rate property.
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;
note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable
for browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless
card’s user manual.
Problem:
How do I extend the range of my wireless network
Solution:
Belkin recommends using one of the following products to extend
wireless network coverage throughout large homes or offices:
•
Wireless Access Point: A wireless access point can effectively
double the coverage area of your wireless network. An Access
Point is typically placed in the area not currently covered by
your wireless router, and connected to the router using either an
Ethernet cable, or through your home’s power lines using two
Powerline Ethernet Adapters.
•
For 802.11g (54g) wireless networks, Belkin offers a Wireless
Range Extender/Access Point that can be connected wirelessly
to a Belkin 802.11g Wireless Router, without requiring an
Ethernet cable or Powerline Ethernet Adapters.
These Belkin products are available at your local retailer, or can be
ordered from Belkin directly.

Problem:
I can’t print from one of the computers on my network. What do I do?
Solution:
For the PC to be able to print to the networked printer (printer on the print
server), the printer’s software and drivers must be installed on the PC.
Every manufacturer ships its printer with a driver and, usually, printing
software. Be sure that you have installed the printer drivers and software
on each PC from which you plan to print. In some cases, while installing the
drivers and software for your printer, you may be required to connect the
PC directly to the printer in order to complete the installation. This varies
according to manufacturer.
Solution:
If the Print Server Wizard is not able to find the Print Server in the Router,
this means the computer does not have a valid connection to the Router. The
most common causes of this issue are:
Wired computers (those not connected wirelessly): Check the
cable between the computer and the Router. Make sure the light
on the front of the Router that corresponds with the port on the
back of the Router is lit. (If the computer is plugged into port 4,
make sure the light for port 4 is lit).

1.
Troubleshooting
2.
Both wired and wireless computers: Make sure that the
network card’s TCP/IP settings are set to obtain an IP address
automatically. See the Router’s manual for tips on checking
and changing your settings. If the IP address assigned to the
computer’s network card are different than the Router’s settings,
this will cause a problem.
3.
Wireless Computers: Be sure that the wireless computer is
connected to your network. Your network has a network name
(also called SSID). The default name of the Belkin Router is
“belkin54g”. It may be possible that there are multiple wireless
networks in your area. To confirm that you are connected to
your own network, and not a neighboring one, use your wireless
networking utility to scan for wireless networks. If more than one
network is found, choose your network from the list and connect
to it.
4.
Wireless Computers: If you are using wireless security such as
WEP encryption, WPA security, or MAC address filtering, make
sure that your computer is configured for the correct security
settings. If you are using MAC address filtering on the Router,
make sure that the computer’s MAC address is entered in the
“Allow List”.
What’s the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11a?
Currently there are three levels of wireless networking standards,
which transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based
on the designation 802.11x, so named by the IEEE, the board that is
responsible for certifying networking standards. The most common
wireless networking standard, 802.11b, transmits information at
11Mbps; 802.11a and 802.11g work at 54Mbps. See the following

USB Print Server FAQs
Q: Does the print server work with Mac OS?
A: No. Printing is only supported for Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, and XP.
Q: What printers work with the Router’s print server functionality?
A: For the latest printer compatibility list, check http://web.belkin.com/
support/printserver/list.asp
Q: Does the Print Server support multifunction printers (i.e.,
those that fax, copy, and scan)?
A: While it may be possible to print to your multifunction printer using
the Print Server, the scanning functions, as well as any other bidirectional
functions, will not work.
Q: Will I still be able to get messages from the printer such as
low paper, low toner, etc., when using the Print Server?
A: No. The print server is not bidirectional. Messages from the printer cannot
be displayed on the PC.
Q: Why do I have to install the printer’s drivers and software on
my PC first?
A: For the PC to be able to print to the networked printer (printer on the
print server), the printer’s software and drivers must be installed on the
PC. Every manufacturer ships its printer with a driver and, usually, printing
software. Be sure that you have installed the printer drivers and software on
each PC from which you plan to print. In some cases, while installing the
drivers and software for your printer, you may be required to connect the
PC directly to the printer in order to complete the installation. This varies
according to manufacturer.
