do i incert the cd drives that came with my router in the laptop i want to connect with, or in my desktop that my modem is plugged to.

Double check the documentation or maybe do a search online for hooking up your model of router. But im pretty sure you wont need it on either.

I put in my cd rom into my laptop but its not loading it, how do i do this maually. i have a laptop with vista installed

Thedarkside · Mar 25, 2010

You should be able to run the cd by going to: Start menu, Computer, and you should see the cd (probably D drive).

Snuffle are you still having problems, this is the 3rd post about your Internet connection, so what happened with the other posts, did you do any of the suggestions.

Thedarkside said, in the first reply to your post, that you probably will not need to. Google your router and see what online sources say about setting it up, or tell us what router you have.

I have a belkin wireless F5D7051uk

Okay, did you Google it?

...put the CD in, click your pearl button and go to 'run'. type d: and then press OK. If 'd:' doesn't work, try 'e:' - I had a computer that didn't have a d drive before.

If you still can't find the CD on your computer, maybe it's time to download the driver from Belkin's website instead? Belkin : Support : F5D7051 Driver

Hi, What is a pearl button. do i have to put cd rom into the lapptop i want to connect the internet too?

Katokato · Mar 27, 2010

Okay. From your phone line, you have the phone line hooked to ur modem right? If yes, then you have an ethernet from the modem to ur computer right? If yes, then i want you to take off the ethernet cable from the computer and plug it into ur router's WAN/Internet port (the on separate from the other 4). Then i want u to get another ethernet cable and plug it into (one of the 4 sockets that are together), then from that, you plug it into your computer where your Modem's ethernet cable was previously connected. Then i want you to type in 192.168.1.1 into ur webbrowser, and configure the SSID (name of the router), and a password for your router. After that you are ready to connect your laptop to your router. Okay, from your laptop, you should have wireless capabilities, i want u to connect your laptop to ur router wirelessly (the router that you want to connect to sohuld be the router that you have set up the SSID with), (right click that little computer sign and click connect to a network), and see if that works. Also remember to plug ur router into AC jack (powersupply).

Katokato · Mar 28, 2010

cable modem?
the screw connections look like this?

if it does, you have bought a router im assuming?
does your laptop have a wireless connection and finally, is it a wireless router?
these are essential questions that need to be asked to find out the best way to connect to the internet, you will not need a cd for it to work

snuffle · Mar 29, 2010

it is a wireless router the laptop can go wireless but have not got the card for it, and the the wire to the back of the modem and to the white box on the wall as got like a 20p shape bolt to it

snuffle · Mar 29, 2010

on the back of my router its got a dsl line and 4 computer connections

MrNeeds · Mar 29, 2010

like this?

right, youve got a cable modem and an adsl router? oh dear :confused:

, you might want to buy yourself a cable router before you start playing with home networking to be honest,
heres the cheapest modem router i could find that was wireless http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/belki...uter-802-11-g-4-port-switch-02417696-pdt.html
sorry
