Using the Adapter ModeTroubleshooting737373section2134567891011 Problem: Installation CD does not automatically start.Solution:If the CD-ROM does not start the Easy Install Wizard automatically, it could be that the computer is running other applications that are interfering with the CD drive. 1. If the Easy Install Wizard screen does not appear within 15—20 seconds, open up your CD-ROM drive by double-clicking on the “My Computer” icon that is located on your desktop.2. Next, double-click on the CD-ROM drive that the Easy Install Wizard Software CD has been placed in to start the installation.3. The Easy Install Wizard should start within a few seconds. If, instead, a window appears showing the files on the CD, double-click on the icon labeled “EasyInstall.exe”.
74TroubleshootingTroubleshootingProblem:The Easy Install Wizard 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. Check to see if the switch on the back of the Router has been set to “Router Mode.”2. Unplug power to the Router for 10 seconds, and then plug the power back into the Router. Ensure that the Router’s “Power” light is on; it should be solid green. If not, check to make sure that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the Router and plugged into a wall outlet.3. Check to see if the switch on the back of the Router has been set to “Router Mode”.Problem:The Easy Install Wizard 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. Ensure that you have a cable (use the cable included with the Router) connected between (1) the Ethernet port on the back of the Router to the (2) Ethernet port of your modem or service provider.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 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. Problem:The Easy Install Wizard completed installation and the Router’s “Ethernet” light is lit “On” but my web browser doesn’t work.Solution: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 “Ethernet” port, and at the other end to the network port on your modem or service provider.
Troubleshooting75section21345678910112. Unplug the cable or DSL modem from its power source for three minutes. After three 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 reattempt communication with the modem. If the “Ethernet” light on the Router is not lit after completing these steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support.4. Try shutting down and restarting your computer.5. If you have a “static IP address” connection, your ISP must assign you the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. 6. If you have a “PPPoE” connection, your ISP will assign you a user name and password and sometimes a service name. Make sure the Router connection type is configured to “PPPoE” and thesettings are entered properly. 7. You may need to configure your Router to meet the specific requirements of your ISP. To search our Knowledge Base for ISP-specific issues, go to: http://web.belkin.com/support and type in “ISP”.If you are still unable to access the Internet after verifying these settings, 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 do the following:1. Look at the lights on your Router. Your Belkin Router’s 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.
76TroubleshootingTroubleshooting2. 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 are also using a Belkin Wireless Card or Adapter with this Router, 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. Does the name of your wireless network appear in the results? 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 titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my network name is not listed”.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 section entitled “Securing your Wi-Fi Network” in this User Manual.3. Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower, left-hand corner of your screen should turn green, indicating a successful connection to the network.
Troubleshooting77section2134567891011Problem: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 configuration utility, please attempt the following troubleshooting steps:1. Temporarily move your computer, if possible, five to 10 feet away from the Router. Close the wireless configuration utility, and reopen 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 Router for Optimal Performance” in this User Manual.2. Using a computer that is connected to the Router through 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.I am having difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.Solution: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 farther away from the Router or access point.
78TroubleshootingTroubleshootingIn order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to 10 feet away 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. 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 “Network Connections” and double-click on 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.
