My Wireless Belkin Router Isn't Working! Please Help!
by KuroiOokami1234 - 6/1/11 7:13 AM
My Dell computer uses a Belkin G router (one of the older models) to offer a secure connection to two laptops, two desktop computers, and a handful of handheld electronics. We haven't had many issues with it, but when we got back from a three day vacation, both the lights for 'wireless' and 'secure' had been turned off and the wireless isn't working, even after three more days. The internet on our main desktop computer is still working, though. I've tried holding the reset button, then unplugging it from everything, waiting 10 seconds after the lights went out, and plugging it back in. Nothing's worked. The 'wired', 'router', 'modem', and 'internet' lights are still lit and working. On our Motorola Modem, everything is green, too. I really need help with this, but please use layman's terms, for I'm not very computer literate.
Additional Details:
*We were gone for three days. During this time only two of the laptops were used, and on the hotel's wifi.
*Both desktops were turned off for the three days.
*There was a storm the night we got back (not sure if this has any significance).
*We use Long Lines.
*My router's model is: F5D9231-4 v2
