If the power LED on your Belkin Adapter doesn't turn on and the adapter isn't working, ensure the adapter is properly plugged into a functioning power source. Also, verify that all cables are securely connected to the correct ports.
Why is my Belkin Adapter's wireless network performance inconsistent?
Wireless network performance can be affected by distance and obstructions. Radio-based wireless technology decreases in connectivity and throughput as distance increases or when obstructions like walls and metal appliances are present. Try moving your computer closer to the Belkin router to see if performance improves, ideally within 100 to 200 feet.
What to do if I can't connect to the internet wirelessly using my Belkin F5D7330?
If you're unable to connect to the Internet wirelessly with your Belkin Adapter, first check the lights on your Belkin router. The 'Power' light should be on, the 'Connected' light should be on and not blinking, and the 'WAN' light should be either on or blinking. After verifying the router's connection, insert the Adapter’s CD into your PC and follow the on-screen instructions.
What to do if my Belkin Adapter is connected to the network but not the internet?
If your Belkin Adapter is connected to your network (the network name is listed as the SSID) but you still can’t access the Internet, ensure you've entered the correct network key if your network has security (encryption) enabled. Refer to the security-setup instructions for guidance.
What to do if my Belkin Adapter isn't connected to the network and the internet?
If your Belkin Adapter isn't connected to your network (the correct network name isn't listed under “SSID”), try these steps: * Move the adapter closer to the router (5-10 feet). * Push the “Auto Connect” button and reconnect it to your PC. If the network name appears, it may be a range or interference issue. If no network name appears, your network might be hidden; use the Adapter’s Wizard from the included CD.
