Hi everyone,

Question from a new forum member.

Any idea why I cannot access the setup page of my new Belkin DSL pre-N router from my XP based PC? I can sometimes get to it from it from my Vista laptop however when I try to log in the page just hangs. (typing 192.168.2.1)

This morning found that I can no longer connect to the Internet no matter how many times I reset the NTL modem (08002EU model) and the Belkin Router. When using a Belkin router previously it was very difficult to get the PC to network with my two laptops and I found it worked best with Network Magic.

It would seem unlikely it is the firewalls or a Network Magic problem as uninstalling them has made no difference. I plugged an ethernet cable directly from the NTL modem into the laptop and connected immediately. Belkins technician took me through all the steps I had already tried and then the phone went dead!

There are lots of negative comments about the Belkin Pre-N routers maybe I should have bought a different brand.
