Belkin Routers :: F5D8235-4 One Computer Slows Down When Other Is On
Dec 17, 2012
Two desktop computers are hard-wired to Belkin F5D8235-4 v1000(Firmware Version 1.01.19. When second computer is initialized, first computer slows to a crawl online. Comcast technician says modem is fine, but router appears to be the problem. Cannot find the extension .bin to download upgraded firmware and I don't know whether or not that will work. Is it time to purchase a new Belkin?
According to the Belkin support tech, apparently the weather (?) may have effected my Belkin Model F5D8235-4 v3 router. My wife pressed the re-set button instead of powering down which according to the tech set my router to reading zero (0).Belkin tech refused to tell me how to re-set the router unless I paid $75 for a six month support plan because mine expired recently.
I have a F5D8235-4 N+ router and I am trying to connect my Seagate Free Agent hard drive to the USB port on the router so that I can access it on all my network computers. When I first hooked it up, it worked. Now, the drive is lit up like it is working, and when I enter \192.168.2.1 I can see it, however my Windows 7 computer is unable to access it (even though this is the same computer that accessed it when I first hooked it up). The computer I am using is running Windows 7 and is connecting to the network wireless.
Is there a way to avoid network interruptions when resetting the F5D8235-4 v3 router? I was hoping to find a config file or some other way to avoid having to reset the home network and devices. The administrator password has been lost, so i would like to reset that only and not restore factory settings.
My F5D8235-4 v.2 N+ suddenly stopped working. The security and modem lights are solid lavender and the storage light is solid amber. The router light is solid blue. Internet has no light.
Swapping cable modem SB5101 that has been working for years for newer one SB6121. F5D8235-4 v2000 router has been working with SB5101 for years. When I connect using same cable/etc. Router cannot get DNS/IP from ISP (Comcast). Cable modem works directly connected to my laptop. Switched back to SB5101 and works again flawlessly. FW on router is 2.01.07. Had comcast tech support as well as comcast tech onsite- no resolution. I did activate new modem thru ISP (even with them here doing it).
When i try to update the firmware it tells me the it is an incompatible update.ive followed all the instructions.my model number is f5d8235-4 v2.i have downloaded the correct version for the firmware update (2).
N+ requires constant reboots to maintain speed. When I reboot the router F5D8235-4 v3 it will run at top speed of 10mbps, after a day or two it slows to about 2mpbs. A reboot will speed it up again. I would prefer that it run fast all the time. Firmware 3.00.15
I have a BELKIN F5D8235-4 V2 wireless router and I am trying to hook up my Western Digital My Book Essentials 2.0 1 TB hard drive to gain access wirelessly through the router. I have it connected to the router via USB but do not know how to access the drive. I have tried mapping a new network drive, but it is not listed as a connection. how can I access the drive.
Belkin storage manager sees my 8Gb flash drive for a split second and the pops up a message about unmounting. When it connects for a split second it shows up wit a drive letter, but then disappears again.
I have the following router (belkin f5d8235-4). I wanted to replace the 2 antenna's with high gain ones. if the antenna is removable and how do i remove it?
I have a the aforementioned router set up with one PC laptop connected via ethernet cable and two to five other devices (PC laptops, iPhone, iPad, Linux Laptop) connected at any given time. About once or twice a week the router drops the network. I can still see the SSID, but can't connect on any device. The wired laptop gets dropped as well. I tried to ping its IP, but it says the device is unreachable. The only solution is to walk upstairs and unplug the router, which fixes it every time until a few days later when it happens again. I've restored factory settings a number of times.
Often (almost always) , when i am connected to wifi via my linksys wireless n PCI e card, speeds are suuuuper slow, and it even causes my computer speeds to slow down (mouse tweaks and glitches, loading bars will stop and start spinning.. etc. almost like low RAM problem?).When i disconnect from wifi, the slow computer problem goes away.I have replaced the wifi card since i thought that was the problem. Although the problem came back.I am currently using a USB wireless N adapter, and i have one bar connectivity, and it runs 100x faster than my PCI card. OH AND ALSO: a few times i have been using m,y desktop with super slow speeds on the PCI card, and i connect on my PS3 or laptop and open a web page. SOMETIMES it will affect something, and my desktop will start running with network speeds again. It's almost like the other devices re-set something in the router?
My router works on one of my wireless computers and my iPad, but not on my second computer. It connects, but only to my local network, not to the internet. Under Network and sharing center it says "unidentified network"
We added a Belkin N750DB wireless to our building yesterday. Everyone is working fine except one computer that is an apple. Her wi-fi keeps going on and off. Is there a setting we need to change so this stops happening and she has constant internet?
Just installed N600 Play router. All computers and phone connect fine, but computers won't auto connect after reboot or sleep. With old router this worked fine.
I need configuring my N900 router to be able to use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection to get into my computer from a client's location. I also want to be able to host websites I'm developing so my clients can see the changes before publishing to their website. I have not been able to find anywhere what settings to set to what in order for these two things to be available to me.
I have FiOS and their supplied wireless router Actiontec #: MI424WR. I have equipment that uses the newer N signal so I purchased a Linksys E3000 Wireless-N Router. This is working great for my wireless home theater equipment but I am having problems with my wired speed. It has gone from 20 to 30 mbps to around 10 mbps. I have one of the LAN outputs on the Actiontec feeding the Linksys input, I have my computers plugged directly into the Linksys verses the Actiontec. This makes it easier to program the Linksys router. Since I am no longer using the wireless part of the Actiontec there really is no need to be plugged into it. Is there anything I can do get my speed back or will I have to plug the computer back into the Actiontec and move it every time I may need to make a change to the Linksys
Replaced an older RV042 that had damage from lightning. The new RV042 is V03 with firmware 4.0.0.7. This router supports 7 branch offices using site-to-site VPN to other RV042 routers. After connecting the new RV042 at the main office, three of the branch offices had very slow response over the VPN tunnel. I disabled the firewall on the new RV042 and the problem resolved. The three branches with the problem have Windows 7 systems and the other 4 have Windows XP. I confirmed that the Windows firewall was disabled on the Windows 7 systems.I did try leaving the firewall enabled and disabling SPI, but that didn't work. Have to have firewall disabled to resolve the problem. I would not expect the firewall on the main office RV042 to affect VPN tunnel traffic, but apparently it does. Do we need specific access rules to fix the issue. It works fine with firewall disbaled, but I'd be more comfortable with it enabled.
I recently took over at a company as IT Manager. All through my career I have heard about the quality of Cisco equipment. Over the past few years I have used a few different Cisco products with good success. When I took over they were using an assortment of old D-link DI-604UP's & DI-804HV routers. The problem is that most of the DSL Internet connections now are faster than the 10 megs that these units WAN connections support. Since they were working fine other than that I felt that replacing them with the RV042 would be a good step. So far I have purchased 6 & implemented 5 of them. The sites vary in number of network devices from 10 to about 50.
The problem is that 4 of the 5 routers start to slow down & finally stop responding after a period of time. If I unplug them, count to 10 & plug them in again they work fine again for a period of time & then quit. The length of time varies between sites & even varies on the same unit. They may go for 2 days or 2 weeks. I never know what I'm going to get. When they go down I don't even have local access to them. It's like they overload & can't accept any more data. I can't tell you what version of firmware they originally had but I can tell you I had upgraded 3 of them to version 4.0.4.02 & then to version 4.1.0.02. I reset & manually re-entered all the settings after I did this.
I have read through the posts & have changed the MTU settings & tried disabling the SPI firewall setting to no avail. The D-link routers ran flawlessley until I replaced them & have done so since I put them back.
I now have over $1000.00 dollars worth of routers that I can't use. I have a boss that is on me because I talked him into spending the money when the $200.00 dollars worth of routers I replaced were working fine.
I have 10 locations to upgrade the total infrastructure in. Routers, switches, etc. If I don't get this resolved quick there is no way in the world I be buying any more Cisco equipment.
Recently I upgraded my Internet speed at the ISP from 10Mbps to 25Mbps and the problem is that I am measuring only 15Mbps using [URL]On the day when the tech came out to install the new DSL modem, he noticed the difference and as part of troubleshooting, he bypassed the Linksys router and voila the net speed measured 25Mbps using speedtest.net.So, why my Linksys WRVS4400N V1.1.13 acts like a bottleneck in this case? I didn't have this problem at the speed of 10Mbps. The upload speed is OK, it is 5Mbs with or without the DSL modem.
I have a Belkin 150 router connected to my modem. I use the wifi in my room. But recently I messed up in the router's page which i dont remember. Now I can't connect my computer to my own network. I am using my friend's network right now. The conenction is shown as "Limited." All the solutions say to type one IP adress or the other to the browser but when connection to my router is not there.
Only my computer can't log into the Belkin 8236 router, when I click submit it takes forever and then web page eventually changes to an error message. I've already Reset the router, changed my IP address, turned off Malwarebytes "Website blocking" turned off Ad-block but still no luck.
How can I remove the PIN code that's been configured in my computer. My computer shares in a home network that bumps everyone out whenever I go into the internet including the owner of the BELKIN network router to whom we are connected to the internet. I mistakenly connected into the network via the router's PIN Code resulting in my computer being configured and the rest of computers in the network being bumped out. Instead of just typing the passphrase/password I typed in the text box the PIN code for the Belkin router when it asked for the PIN code instead of just connecting into the internet without necessarily configuring my computer for the BELKIN router? how to remove the PIN code in my computer so that I do not bump everyone in the network.
I have a laptop and a PC, both connected to the same router, connected to a Time Warner Road Runner cable modem. The laptop works fine whether it is in wireless or wired mode. The PC does not have wireless. When the PC is connected to the router, it's download speed is OK but I have zero upload speed - which of course kills my ability to do almost any online or even LAN task, including browsing and file transferring over LAN.
When I plug directly into the modem, bypassing the Belkin, the PC connection works just fine. It only encounters errors when going through the router, but every other computer in the household works fine through the router (3 laptops, work great either wired or wireless using same cables and ports as the PC). The PC worked fine in my old apartment with a different router, but as soon as I got to this one, nothing.Both comp's have WinXP Home Edition. The PC has a Realtek onboard NIC, called PCIe GBE Family Controller NIC in Device Manager. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, and using multiple driver versions, to no avail. The Ethernet cable is known working.

The router is a Belkin F5D9230-4 Wireless G Plus MIMO Router with fully updated firmware.All my firewalls are turned off, including that of the router.Everything is up to date, I have done full virus and malware scans, power cycled everything, and I just cannot solve this problem.
If your wireless indicator is flashing red when you discover the smurf, it can mean that someone has tried to logon with an incorrect password. this is not necessarily an attack, it could be someone you have allowed access too, who has forgotten the password? In this case entering the correct password will solve the problem.However putting your own MAC address into the filter will simply block your own machine.
I have the N600DB Wireless Router I am connected to the internet, but cannot open My Routers Homepage with http://router or http://192.168.2.1. How can I get to this page to reset the router settings? I also cannot connect any of my wireless devices to the network..
I have two matching N300 Belkin routers. The cable modem feeds into modem1 and modem1 feeds into modem2. I get a good wireless connection on modem1. Modem2 shows up on a wireless scan and it accepts the password. It however will not connect.
