  If your Belkin Adapter's link LED is solid but you can't connect to the internet, check that the WEP, WPA, or WPA2 key settings match on your computer and wireless router (or access point). Remember that the key is case-sensitive, and the spelling must be exactly the same on each device for the Adapter to connect.
