Loss of connection with Belkin router

I have been using a Belkin N450DB router with my Westell modem for over 2 months. Everything was fine until 4 days ago when my router lost connection. I have tried the self heal with the router and the troubleshooting with the modem. I currently have internet with just the modem hooked up but have lost connection 3-4 times this way over the past 4 days. I have no connection with the router connected now. It says wire unplugged. I was thinking it was the router but have found out another DSL customer in my town has the exact same issue and he has a different router.  Did Verison reset some security programs that won't allow my router to connect or is Verison DSL having issues we are not aware of in Greenwood, DE?  It is just strange that two residences are experiencing the same issues in different areas.

#1 What is the model of that Westell modem?
#2 When you said

are you saying that the router says that or are you saying your OS (and Version - for example Windows XP) is saying that?

  • I want to connect a Belkin router to my TC

    I want to connect a Belkin router to my TC via cable to extend my network to my garage.  Can anyone tell me how to go about it, if it is possible to do?

    966?? That is not its full model number and revision. I cannot find any listing for 966.
    Belkin numbers are like..
    F5D or F7D something.. usually 4 numbers..
    http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Belkin
    See typical models which are semi useful because you can flash them to dd-wrt.
    Looking at this airport express on eBay:  Apple Airport Express A1264 54 Mbps Wireless N Router (MB321LL/A)
    That is the least useful model.. it has one ethernet port.. so there is no way of using it with ethernet in the garage and the wireless is weak single band.
    Here is what I would buy.

  • Not able to connect with my router, but other networks work ok.

    I have a 2d generation iPod Touch. I can't connect to my home network that operates on a DLink DIR-628 router. However I can connect to other access points with no trouble at all. When my iPod tries to connect with my router, it asks for my password and I enter the password I think is correct, but it won't accept it. When I check the router web page there is no password visible. Does the problem lie with the Router or with the iPod Touch? I have three other computers and two wireless printers that are operating through the router with no problem at all.

    Have you tried:
    - Resetting your iPod:
    - Resetting network settings on the iPod: Setting>General>reset>Reet Network Settins
    - Powering off and then back on your router

  • How can i fix my wifi connection with my router

    how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?

    I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA. 
    I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad.  I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time.  If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine.  This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
    I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
    Additional test:
    I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA.  The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
    I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

  • Why my  IPAD2  sometimes loose connection with my router and I need to enter again the WPA password?

    Why when my IPAD2 loose connection with the router sometime I need to enter again WPA2 password?

    same problem here.
    MBA (latest os), even my ip5 (latest ios) & ipm (also latest ios) looses the connecntion.
    Ive tried to figure out what causes the problem - neither my xbox360 nor (and i guessed they will be the problem) the pcs here...
    the connecntion runs well.. switching also (MBA-IP5-IPM).. but not for longer than an hour.. or even minutes. When the connection looses a high-frequency noise is followed by silence. A restart fix that problem and all devices streaming well... but not for long...
    any suggestions?

  • Connecting to Home WiFi with Belkin Router

    Hi guys,
    love my itouch, just cant get it to connect properly with my router. My settings confirm im connected ok (ive input my password as requested), but when i use safari or try to collect my emails im told my itouch can connect to the server. Do i need to manually input more settings (and if so, what are they....?) When i attach to other routers i have no such problems, straight into safari and straight into my emails....
    At a loss, so any help geatfully received!!
    Cheers

    hello
    i may have a solution for you.
    Do you have any computers connected to the network?
    if so, then what firewall software is installed?
    I had the same problem, and it was very annoying. All i did was add every conceivable ip address that my router could give to my ipod into the 'safe ip's' section of my firewall software. It instantly started working.
    Give it a try!

  • New iPad Wi-Fi ;  wont connect to Belkin Router

    Hi...grateful for any experts' help out there .. So I got a new 16Gb iPad for Xmas, lucky man I know.... Im a pro TV/film composer with 2 macbooks, 3 ipods, an iphone 4 and a studio g5 so Im cool with Apple stuff and know my way around them... BUT - I cant wi fi connect to the internet via our home router, a Belkin N10117 Wireless G Router. In terms of info I should say that:
    - the iPad can see the router and connects to it but loading Safari says 'no internet connection'
    - we have 2 ipod touches, an iphone 4 and 2 macbooks successfully connected to the net via wi fi using the Belkin
    - when I try joining the network the IP address and the Subnet Mask are filled in, but the Router DNS Search Domains etc all blank which I take to be bad..
    - I have tried the following: brightness fix/multiple restart of router, ipad etc/reset network settings of iPad, forget network etc, then went to Belkin control panel and added Mac Address filtering, adding in Wi Fi address of iPad , still no joy - all other items worked fine after this.
    Should add also that my bro in law also got a new iPad on the same day - his also did not work with the Belkin but worked fine when he got home on his network. So it seems it is a setting issue within the iPad/belkin rather than a specific hardware issue or router issue.
    Ill be so very grateful for any info - have been on the forum/support sites searching all afternoon and now Im asking for help. One poster quoted success with the Mac address filtering route but no luck for me... if anyone can tell me the Belkin router will categorically will not work with the iPad then so be it but that would seem very poor given that all other hardware works perfectly (theres no info on Belkin site).
    To quote Sting and his hundred million bottles washed up on the shore, it seems "Im not alone in being alone" with this problem.... theres a LOT of iPad Wi Fi issues. I love Mac with a passion and use all their gear on TV and film scores but am currently VERY unhappy. Anyones help on helping transform this from a pretty beermat into something useful? Otherwise its a refund and a new guitar....Thanks so much guys.... KB

    Hi Ralph... thanks for responding on this tricky issue, really appreciated.
    Yes - Ive tried Autofill off, that was mentioned on an earlier search, no joy. The router is probably 3y or so old, and has worked perfectly. According to the Belkin Control Panel (which I currently have open) the firmware is the latest version - but have to say I dont know how to check:
    .... before Sept 2009, do not have an implementation of the IEEE 802.11 n-protocol that is completely compliant with the standard..
    would there be anywhere in the control panel settings that gave us that info? Im sure you're on the right track about the iPad being picky.. Im just not knowledgable enough to know what settings to change myself.. Im curious as to why the Router/DNS/Search Domains boxes were empty whereas on all other mac items theyre automatically filled in....? As you say Belkin are great; Ill buy a new router if I have to but dont know whether that would solve the problem?
    so grateful for any help...cheers

  • Connecting to Belkin Router

    I just recently bought a Belkin Router and can not connect through WPA encryption. When I turn the encryption off, I can connect fine. I called support and when I told the guy my pass phrase was 11 characters he said that it should be 10. I made a new one using 10 characters and it still doesnt connect. Anyone have any tips? Thanks

    First, switch from WPA to WPA2 (Personal, if it's supported.) If that doesn't work you may need to check for a firmware update for the router.
    If you continue having problems then try a different product. I've had good success with the D-Link DI-524. However, if you want the best compatibility spring the extra cash and buy the new Apple Extreme Base Station.

  • Brand new Macbook not connecting to Belkin Router!

    Hi, I am at my wits end here seriously. I've read countless posts from everywhere on people having trouble with the Macbook and it not connecting to their router.
    My situation: I bought my Macbook 5 days ago, brand new. So whatever the latest versions of everything is, however it is still running Tiger, but I am waiting on Leopard in the mail.
    I have a Belkin router(I'm at work so I don't have it with me to check the correct model number but it looks like it would be F5D5231-3 (it's about 3 years old). Now my Macbook recognises the router, however it will not connect. I've spent the last 4 nights on the phone to Belkin, Apple and my ISP, and I'm going to have a breakdown because no one has been any help.
    Anyway, I went to a cafe last night to use their hotspot wireless internet, and I connected to their internet just fine. I have tried everything Belkin, Apple and my ISP has told me to do and nothing has worked. I had an iBook when I first got my router and it connected just fine, I didn't have airport but I had a wireless d-link USB device. Why oh why is my new Macbook causing me so much trouble?? I've wasted so much time being bounced around from one useless person to the other... I just need some help or suggestions.
    Also, there is a desktop PC and two PC laptops in the same house which connect fine to the router.
    Please anyone who is able to help me I will be eternally grateful. The thing is I really don't need the internet as my partner has a laptop with internet, but I want everything working. I want to have my own laptop with my own internet connection and to stop wasting time messing around with settings and everything.
    Thanks for hearing my rant. Please don't hesitate to give me some advice!

    Would the problem be that my router is 'g' and 'b' based? I notice that the new Macbooks airport are 'n" based. But even so, I'm sure the cafe I went to wasn't 'n'. If I have to buy a new router I will, but would rather not if I can get this router to work.

  • SPA 2100 Problem with Belkin Router

    My setup is motorola cable modem>>>>SPA2100>>>>Belkin Wireless Router. My phone works fine but i cant get the internet to work wirelessly through my router. when i connect the 2100 to the router through one of the 4 hardwired computer ports on the belkin, the internet works fine for the other computers hard wired to the belkin router. But i cant access the router homepage to setup the wireless settings. Also, there is nothing plugged into the modem port in my router. Any help? Thank you

    The SPA-2100 is a router and ATA (analog telephone adapter) in one. You need to decide which will act as the main router whether it’s the SPA-2100 or the Belkin wireless router. Better go to linksys.com/kb and search for cascading router. There should be an article which will describe how to connect the two routers together.

  • WiDi, no connection with Belkin Screencast

    I can not connect my Helix to the Belkin Screencast WiDi adapter.
    - start WiDi
    - searching for adapter
    => belkin adapter is found
    - connect
    After awhile appears the message: A connection with the remote display could not be established.
    In the network connections I can see that when the Belkin adapter is found, then appears a new network connection: LAN10 virtual Microsoft-adapter for WiFi#2.
    Hardware: Helix i7 3G Mobile
    OS Win8
    I tried all possible combinations: Docked (with Dockingstation and Ethernet connection)
    Undocked
    WLAN with fixed IP or dyn IP
    I also updated the Wireless-driver to 15.8.0.5 and WiDi to 4.0.18.9
    Always the same behavior
    Any ideas?
    Solved!

  • AP1121G connection with Internet Router

    Hi! My requirement is to connect the access point to an Internet Router through a common L2 switch so that wifi-enabled laptops will receive public ips through the DHCP pool defined on the AP and be able to access raw internet. The Internet Router has 2 subnets one for the leased-line and the other on the LAN interface.
    I have configured the BVI interface with one of those public IPs and specified the default-gateway as the LAN IP on the Internet Router; on which I have created a reverse route for reachability to the public subnet on AP.
    I am able to reach to the default-gateway but have no reachability for the subnets beyond.
    While working on the problem, I have connected a laptop directly to the LAN interface and confirmed connectivity and browsing to the internet. Next, I bypassed the Nortel switch and connected the AP directly to the LAN interface, I can ping to the public dns servers but browsing is not happening.
    However, I can browse from wifi laptops when I connect the AP on the client LAN segment.
    Am I missing something here? Please have a look and advise.

    You really should be nat'ing on the router...
    Let me get this straight... you have an router with 2 ethernet ports. One is for the lease line and the other is connected to a layer 2 switch? The AP is connected to the layer 2 switch and is on the same vlan as the port on the router?
    When you bypass the Nortel switch and connect to the router everything works, but when you connec to the Nortel switch it doesn't.
    Check to see if you have native vlan checked on the AP... you might have to set the native vlan or no tagging on the Nortel switch in which the ap is connected to.

  • Intermittent Connection with WRT120N router

    Hi, I recently bought a WRT-120N router a week ago for my friends and I to use the internet wirelessly. The package I got supposed to give me speeds up to 25Mbps but I can only access these speeds when I'm directly connected to the router via a cable. When I try to connect wirelessly the connection cuts off every 5 mins or so and the speed is less than a fifth of what it's supposed to be even when my computer is the only one on the network. I want to be able to allow everyone equal access to the full speeds when connected wirelessly and not have it cut off every 5 mins. Also, the wireless internet seems to work better for everyone else when I'm connected using the cable but I want to have it in such a way that even when I'm not there everyone can still access the full speeds. I've tried changing the channel for the router and changing the default i.p. so far. Please help. Thanks in advance.

    It seems that the wireless connection might be dropping on your router.
    Try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on the router. Download the latest firmware of the router from the Linksys website.
    While upgrading the firmware of the router, your computer must be connected to the router with the Ethernet cable. 
    Open the router configuration page. Go to the Administration tab and click on Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the Firmware file that you have already downloaded on your computer and upgrade the firmware on your router.
    After upgrading the firmware of the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure the router.
    Press and hold the reset button on the router for 10 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 10 seconds. Power cycle the router. Now reconfigure the router.
