Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Router

I recently purchased a new router and cannot get my PowerBook to connect while using WEP security. If I turn it off I can connect but I want to have a secure network. I have tried everything I can think of. Does anyone have anu suggestions?

First I tried WPA, since I guess that's the best, but when it didn't work I tried WEP 128-bit and then 64-bit, and none of them worked. It might be that one of them would have worked if the connection wouldn't have been bad in the first place. By the time I tried 64-bit I think I didn't have a connection going, but when I tried 128-bit and WPA I think I was going off of a good connection. But as soon as I saved the changes for the security I had no connection.
If the security settings don't apply to the wired iMac (which I didn't think they did), then how come I would lose the connection to the iMac when I change the settings? That's what's gotten me really confused.
Thanks for your reply!

  • Airport Extreme 802.11g vs.Belkin wireless g plus mimo router

    I have an Airport Extreme 802.11g and have been having some trouble with hanging connections via my Comcast cable modem. Today I was in Staples and on a whim, bought a Belkin wireless G plus mimo router thinking that switching routers might solve my problems. Before I even take this thing out of the box, can anyone compare the 2? Am I better off just sticking with the Airport?

  • Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO on MAC  OS 10.2.8

    Does anyone know how to make a Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO (F5D9050) work on a ibook G3 with Mac OS 10.28?

  • Airport Express for stereo / Belkin Wireless G Plus Router/

    Quicksilver G4 using Ethernet connection directly to Belkin Wireless G Plus
    Router . Airport Express working remotely via router to stream audio to
    loudspeakers. Was able to choose (from iTunes window) whether to play thru
    computer speaker (1) or remote speakers (2)
    Problem: I temporarily disconnected the Airport Extreme unit. No options now... can only play thru computer. iTunes no longer
    shows a dropdown selection option to stream to remote speakers.
    Have reset Airport Express. Have used Airport Setup to re-install....have
    done this using both a laptop G-4 (successfully to be able to a/b select
    either computer speaker or streaming to remote) but when trying to do
    the same re-install from the G-4 Quicksilver.... and getting a message that
    the installation was successful.... iTunes streaming network signal doesn't show up in the Quicksilver menu bar AND neither is there an option to select
    streaming to remote speakers.
    Other manipulation tried: disconnected cable modem, reconnected to
    "reset" the modem. Other observation: the Airport Express indicator
    is steadily green.
    I hope this makes enough sense that someone like Tessarex can suggest
    a solution to enable iTunes streaming with the G-4 Quicksilver, via the
    wireless Belkin router to the Airport Express and stereo. (I don't want to
    have to resort to using my wife's laptop to initiate

    With your QuickSilver G4 connected via Ethernet to the Belkin router, you should be able to stream iTunes to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by joining the Belkin's wireless network as a wireless client.
    Try the following...
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (checked)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Belkin wireless G plus router

    I've installed a new Belkin wireless router. I get connected with a PC laptop but my PB G4 recognized the new network but give me error message when it tried to connect to network. I had no problems with the old (but faulty) Netgear wireless router.
    Anyone had similar problems and/or solutions?

  • Original airport card connection to Belkin Wireless G Plus router

    I have an iBook G3 with an original airport card in it. The card works because I can acess the internet at school or the local Wi-Fi hotspots. I cannot however connect to my own network at home. The computer will pick up my network but when I try to connect I am asked for a password. I DO NOT have NEVER HAD a password for my network and my PC will connect wirelessly just fine. I have read the manuals for every thing I have and can not figure out why it wont connect. Any suggestions other than getting a new computer?

    Already tried that
    Is the Belkin running in 802.11g mode?
    It needs to be running in 802.11b or 802.11b/g mixed mode for a Mac with the original Airport card to connect.
    Has the Mac been able to connect to any wireless network?

  • Linksys Wireless N Router w/ Belkin Wireless G Adapter Connection?

    I recently bought a Linksys wireless n router to better serve my two new laptops with wireless n cards. They are now lightning fast and super reliable. However, my desktop, which has a Belkin wireless g card connects about a third as fast and last only about 5-10 minutes before needing to be reconnected, which can cometimes take a while itself. I changed the channel to 11 which helped a little and am running the router on 20 MHz only.
    My previous router was a Belkin wireless G.
    I'm looking for answers/explanations and possible solutions to speeding up my desktop's speed and increasing its reliability w/o jeopardizing my laptops' supreme performance.
    Thanks for your help,
    ~Josh

    Set the Channel Width to 40MHz only,Wide Channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on save settings...Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Under the Security tab,uncheck.. dw(vs_internetfilter0);Filter Anonymous Internet Requests and click on save settings..Now,power cycle the router and check...

  • I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network?

    A few hours ago I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router for the 1st time. It was either on auto, or channel 6 before, i'm not sure, but I changed it to 11, and now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network. I tried changing it to 6, but nothing, and I also can't go back to auto. Can someone please help. I've already searched for the network, and it says "Cant find network". I've also restarted my router. I also added the MAC address, still nothing. Other than those things, I havent touched anything else. My ipod could connect before just find. My Wifi is not disabled, and it's not on private. I can connect with other wifi's fine. And I can connect to other networks with my ipod, I also held down the button on top, and the home button for 10 seconds to restart and nothing. I also reset my network settings. Please help!

    Find the documentation for your router and look up "Reset to Factory Defaults."  This process will put the router back to the way it was when you bought it.

  • Photosmart C309g printer. how do i install it on a second computer. i have a belkin wireless router

    my printer has stopped working from a second computer.
    it is a photosmart C309g and i have a belkin wireless router. the main computer is XP and the second one is Windows 7.
    it use to work before. i have forgotten how i set it up in the first place.

    Hi dan-fran,
    Just need to download the driver from the link below, and then when you get to the connectivity screen of the installer select network/wireless. If the printer is already on your network the software will find the printer, and you can complete the installation of the software and driver.

  • Safari "Top Sites" and Belkin wireless router

    Have been experiencing a problem with Safari / Belkin router for the past 3 days. I have noticed it occurs most often when using the "top sites" function of Safari. It seems that whenever I use top sites it causes a disconnect between my macbook and the belkin wireless router. My computer becomes disconnected from the router, even though the router continues to function as normal.
    In tandem, a parallel problem which may be related:
    In past three days I have been receiving constant floating window prompt to enter my Gmail info to "update RSS feed... password will be sent in clear text... etc." while using Safari. I have read other threads on this issue and some people attribute it to the top sites function, since updating Safari to the latest version.
    Anyone else having the same issue with their wireless router when using the top sites function of Safari? To reiterate - the connection seems only to be lost when clicking on a top site in a new tab or window.
    Thanks for all replies!

    HI,
    Try Safari Maintenance and see if that makes a difference.
    Also, I just saw this post... might help you. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2182985&tstart=0

  • Can i use a belkin wireless g router with an iMac

    can i use a belkin wireless g router with an imac

    It will work. The wireless card in iMacs (recent ones) work with n, g, and b networks. The g protocol is slower (54 mbs) versus n (130 mbs up to 300 mbs). My employer has hundreds of such access points and has been updating them all to n, but there are still some g routers they haven't gotten to, and they work fine. 54 mbs is not bad, it's about 5 megabytes/sec roughly. Typical actual throughput is lower than these numbers by ~ 50%, so doing a large Mac OS update download of 300 Megabytes would take about ~ 2 minutes with a g router, and maybe a bit less than 1 minute with an n router.

  • Set up belkin wireless router now cant send mail

    I set up a belkin wireless router n1 for a thinkpad t61. my primary computer that I'm useing is a imac g5.  I went through the tourturus process of speaking with tech support both with verizon for my dsl modem and belkin with the router.  I was told and walked through the steps of bridging the modem, whatever that means. why i have to bridge the modem I have no idea. I was told by verizon in order to set up a secure wireless network it had to be in bridge mode.
    problem now is that I can send simple e-mail on the mac but when I try to send pictures with e-mails it wont send the mail.  is it a problem with bridge mode?  Please help if you can.  very frustrating not understanding what needs to be done or why im doing it.
    thank you adam z.

    Change the Wireless Settings on your router and re-connect to your Wireless Network...
    To change the Network Name/SSID follow the link here , to change/enable wireless security follow the link here , now check if you can locate the wireless network on your wireless computers and attempt to connect...

  • My Macbook Pro doesnt seem to connect to my Belkin wireless router. It is connected but the internet would not work. any suggestions?

    hey guys. I am having trouble with my internet. My MacBook Pro seems to be connected with Belkin wireless router, but the internet would not work. We recently changed the router so its pretty new, and it used to work on my HP laptop. Although there were some problems, it still worked. But now, the internet works and stops suddenly, and then works again.
    I would love to hear some suggestions to get rid of this.
    Thanks
    Kiran

    If you have not already done so, read the troubleshooting section in Belkin's user manual, contact their customer tech support by phone or go to its website.  Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

  • E3000 Wireless Bridging to a Belkin Wireless Router

    I need some help to setup a WIRELESS BRIDGE.  I got a new E3000 which works great so far for my basic wireless and LAN needs.  But I want to use my old Belkin wireless router (G) as a bridge to connect my BD-Live Blu-ray player and any other wired devices in that location of the living room. The Belkin router is access point / wireless bridging capable.  I have the E3000 setup for DHCP, starting address at 192.168.1.100, and 50 users.  I've set the 2.4GHz Channel to 9 (equal to the Belkin router).
    Am I supposed to put the Belkin in Access Point mode and enable wireless bridging?  Or disable access point mode and only use wireless bridging, and disable the routing functions (DHCP, etc).
    Am I supposed to manually add a client (the Belkin) under the "DHCP Reservation" with the IP I give it under access point mode?  Should this IP address be inside or outside the DHCP range?
    This should be a good start.  I'm sure there will be questions.
    My first question is: Should I

    Your questions would be better in a Belkin forum. Basically, the E3000 is working and all configuration necessary has to happen on the Belkin.
    I don't know the Belkin you probably won't be able to use it at as access point and bridge. Thus, I would say you have to configure it as wireless bridge only. It should also not do any routing/IP network related functions, in particular it should not operate as DHCP server or NAT router. When properly bridge, everything should be connected on ethernet level.
    The IP address of the belkin itself has the only purpose for configuration. A wireless bridge would not require any IP address for its basic function of wireless bridging. Of course, as most people use IP most devices have web interfaces or other configuration interfaces based on IP.
    Thus, you could either assign a static IP address on the Belkin or use DHCP and assign it either with DHCP reservation or a free DHCP IP address. The latter obviously makes it more difficult to access the web interface of the Belkin, if necessary.
    I would recommend to set a static IP address on the belkin itself. This is more stable, e.g. in a case where the E3000 is not responsive after a power failure when everything is booting up.
    Static IP addresses and reserved IP addresses should be assigned outside the general purpose DHCP address pool.
