Replaced Belkin G router with this one, using the same ethernet & PC cables. Getting no wireless connection at all. Any ideas. Am a rookie at this.

My recommendation is to follow the directions EXACTLY, step by step, if it says turn everything off, do it. I have set up plenty of wireless routers and assumed I knew what I was doing, and couldn't get it to work. Then I went back and followed the directions step by step and it's worked like a charm ever since.

The first thing to check is to make sure the wireless is turned on. You need to log into the router through Firefox, IE, Chrome, or whatever browser you use. The address is 192.168.1.1 Username is admin and the password is whatever you picked when first set up the router.

Just return it! It's no easy task. I bought mine "new" from Amazon and when I called customer support they said that the one year customer support included had expired. There is a better version out there that is plug and play ready made by Belkin. Just push to connect. This is not that one.

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

I simply plugged it in and installed the driver. Once the driver was installed I searched for a new network device on my laptop and it found the Netgear Range Finder, which was labeled as an extension of my main router. Once I clicked on the new router to connect, everything synced up perfectly. It was very easy and seamless. Good luck!

My Linksys has been nothing but problems. It finally went out a few days ago. I bought a Belkin and it's been rock solid and has not dropped any connections yet. My Linksys dropped connections on a daily basis. Once the Xbox went on, the problems began.

After a few months of perfect service my Squeezebox is suddenly losing its WiFi connection. Nothing else in the house is having that problem, so I assume it's this device. I've connected it via Ethernet cable, will see if this works better. I have the latest update, will keep an eye on this discussion for hints or fixes. Thanks for posting your experiences!

Same thing here. I am able to get it to work in wired mode. Wireless, it connects to my network and gets an IP address but, it cannot get past the DNS problem. Updating the firmware (version R1.17) did not help. This thing is ticking me off! I've contacted Aluratek but, if this doesn't get resolved very soon, I'll have to return it and try something else.

It's hard to know how to respond, because you don't say what ports your router has - or what OS you're using.The spec is pretty complete, and yes, there is no ethernet. If this is really vital, I might try connecting this to a specific host machine (I use Firewire) and then remote mounting it on other machines. (This is easy in the mac world, and I'm sure there are Windows solutions.)Hope this helps. At least, it's probably better than, "Huh?"

To be totally honest...have no idea. Wish I could have been more helpful. But I'm def going to be buying a more powerful one as the netgear one that I have isn't doing the job as I have way tooooo many wireless "things" working off that one router, even with the extender, still no good. Not sure which one I'm getting. Good luck

My wireless router is so slow. I can't get thru a short You Tube video without it hanging and loading every 2 minutes. I have Comcast cable and a Belkin Router. I only paid $29.95 for the router, is that the reason if two of us are trying to use the wifi it will only work for one person. Would I have the same hang with the movies, tv is I used this wireless router? I am not tech savvy at all. Thanks

I'm having the same problem. I just rebooted it and used it for a while, browsing the embedded web server, then watched it go dead as soon as it entered sleep mode. I woke it up by tapping the touchscreen but it still doesn't reconnect. Its wireless status screen shows it connected with an IP address. Pinging that IP address gets no response. Very frustrating. UPDATE: Rebooting my Netgear N600 (Model WNDR3700) router seemed to fix the problem, even after the printer went back into sleep mode.

The router is not wireless. It has only one Ethernet port and a DSL port. It must be connected to a switch to connect to more than one computer.

Have you guys tried changing the wireless channel? I was having this problem where I was getting poor signal and random disconnects on my MacBook pro when my router was set on channel 11. Ever since I changed I was able to connect and browse w/o disconnects. None of my other devices had this problem though...

If WiFi is not working, make sure you have updated your z87 drivers. In some cases, you can't even use your Ethernet port without updating mobo drivers. I would call Asus if issues persists after getting updated drivers. You might have to download the drivers onto an external in order to apply them if you're unable to connect to the internet. I am able to detect my Wireless networks with 3 bars, except my router is 4 feet away. So definitely attach the antenna that came along with it.

I would try getting a new router and perhaps a new modem, or, better yet, take it somewhere that has a different wireless set up to see if it works before changing anything. When I bought the radio I had a 5 yr old linksys 802.11b router running off an even older RCA cable modem. I had similar DNS problems and tried everything described above and then some (including bypassing the router and plugging it directly to the cable modem) . The radio never acquired an internet connection. Aluratek support tried to help (a little) and concluded the radio was faulty. So, I got a new one and returned the old one to Amazon (Amazon doesn't really exchange, but has a decent return policy and will credit a return against your purchase of a replacement.) The replacement radio didn't work in exactly the same way the first one didn't. work Coincidentally, at about the same time we were about to switch internet service from comcast to fios, so I decided to keep the radio a few days and try it with the new service, during which time I entertained myself by playing mp3s off a thumb drive. After the new internet service (including new modem/WAP) was installed I turned on the Aluratek and (presto) it immediately connected to to the internet and played as advertised, and I have not had a problem since. By the way, I have had a Roku internet tuner (the kind that needs to plug into a stereo or powered speakers, not the table radio) and it never had a problem with the old modem and wireless. The Roku does seem to buffer faster and doesn't cut out nearly as much now, though.

I am getting this message and am using a Netgear g/n router. Wired is no problem. But I haven't been successful with the wireless yet.
