| Belkin N+ wireless router security/connection issues
If I set the router up unsecured, I have no problem connecting my laptop.
The problem begins when I set any one of the security options (WEP or WPA). Once these options are set for the router, I cannot connect to the internet. My laptop gets stuck in a continual "acquiring network address" cycle.
I tried all three steps in the Belkin CD set up AND spent two hours on the phone with a technician, and still cannot get the problem fixed.
I am bout ready to return this thing...any advice? |

@virginmedia.com | What OS are you using? And what network card does the laptop have? (Have you looked at updating the network drivers on the laptop?) |

Do you happen to have an alarm system in your house? The newer wireless alarm systems can wreak havoc on wireless routers, not to mention cordless phones of course. I worked on a setup where only WEP would work for encryption, not any flavor of WPA. Once the alarm was deactivated completely with all batteries removed it was fine. Weird. |
