Belkin Routers :: N1 F5D8231-4 Is Too Slow
Jan 11, 2013
Lately I notice my router is very very slow. most of the time I cannot use my ipad or it takes too long and sometimes never finishes downloading a web site. I called Belkin support, and I was told that I need to update and configure, and to do that I have to pay more than what my router cost.

I recently replaced my old Belkin Pre-N router with a newer N router. Still, the newer one is only less older than my Pre-N Belkin router that I had sitting around but never opened and installed (F5D8231-4). Anyway, I finally decided to set it up. I was trying to log into the router to set security settings and to update the firmware but when I type the IP address into the address bar in IE or Firefox, it is partially blank. There are no functional buttons. Only the Belkin logo on a gray background with a couple of emtpy boxes where it looks like functional buttons or tabs should be. how to get to a working screen with functional buttons?

My F5D8231-4 (N1 Wireless Router) keeps shutting down its wireless broadcast. If I reset back to factory settings it comes back on but then I have to setup again.

I have an N1 Wireless Router (F5D8231-4 ver 2). It is setup with WPA/WPA2-PSK on and links to a Windows Laptop and an iPod Touch perfectly. I cannot get my new Samsung Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) connected. I have tried changing the router to WEP 128bit and even no security. The Samsung links perfectly to my neighbours Thomson Wireless Modem/router with no security. The Belkin N1 is recognising the android trying to link and assigns an IP. The Samsung instantly sees the Belkin network ( says " very strong signal") & tries to connect. It saves the network but gets stuck trying to obtain an IP address & reports "network disabled" and "weak signal".

My Router has been gone from running at bout 7Mb download speed to 500Kb download speed. When the router is restarted using the menu software it will run quicker, but only for 20-30 second then back to a slow speed. It was off while we were on holiday in August and has not been any good since. Its a shame as it only 2 years old.

My N150 wireless router sees 25mb+ speed from my internet connection but my wireless connects at 1mb. Why is the WiFi being resricted?

I purchased a Belkin N-300 router, model F9K1002V4, about 6 months ago, and recently upgraded my cable internet service to a 20+ mbps level, in hopes of improving the speed of my wireless devices. The speed on all of my wireless devices (a new laptop, ipad, and iphone) is still below 1mbps, even when I'm in the same room with the router. The speed on my wired computer registers above 20mbps, so I don't think the problem lies with the cable internet. I have tried to download the firmware update on Belkin's site, but my computer says it doesn't have the right program to run it, and it can't find the program on the web. I sent an e-mail to Belkin customer service, but they just sent me an automated reply, referring me back to their website, with the firmware update that I can't access.

I was having problems setting up dd-wrt so I wanted to flash back to the Belkin firmware and try again. I went to what I thought was the product page for the N600 and found the latest version of the firmware and flashed to it. The only thing it does now when I plug it in is 2 slow flashes of the green light and then nothing. I tried holding down the WPS button while plugging it in and I get the light to stay green but it doesn't respond to 192.168.2.1.\

I bought my own modem, a Motorolla Extreme something or other, is a DOCSIS 3.0. My router is a Belkin N150. When I plug my desktop computer directly into the router, I get speeds upwards of 50Mbps. The wireless, however, gets about 0.15Mbps download, but as much as 12Mbps upload.
I know it's not computer specific, because I plugged my laptop directly into the modem and got the full speed. AND I put a wireless adaptor on the desktop and got the slower speeds.I live in a densely populated area and there are 27 other (visible) wireless networks available (all locked, unfortunately. Otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place). So I tried every channel, doing a speedtest with each, and I got almost identical results each time: 0.12-0.17Mbps download, 11-13Mbps upload. I can't imagine that getting only 0.15Mbps could be a result of a channel being clogged, but I tried it anyway;

I've been having big problems with my Belkin router. The connection is often slow even after restarts etc. I'm not sure whether it's the line quality/broadband usage/router quality that's causing the problem. How can I pinpoint the issue?ISP: Virgin MediaBroadband: ADSLAnti-Virus: AVGI've attached the image and ipconfig text file.

I have a Belkin N600 HD.I'm on an Off-net ADSL2 Connection with TPG.It took 2 weeks to connect.I've connected and I'm still downloading at 1.5Mbps (150kb/s)I bought new Lie filters/splitter in case the same ones I have were faulty (C1024M) and connected them correct to both my home phone and my Modem.So I've connected to my net, I can download and do whatever but I'm going at my ADSL1 Speeds. My friend is on the same connection, same modem (he bought it cause of me) and he's hitting higher then me (500kb/s, 600kb/s) Although he's on a separate line so no filters required (I think).He lives about 5minutes away from me (car) and is about the same distance from the exchange as I am (2.5km give or take) [code]

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.

My Belkin F7D4301 Router has the fastest wireless speed of maybe 2MBps but wired with a cat5e cable to my asus laptop of almost 7MBps. I have a one smart TV, one blue ray, one roku, and a nexus 7 using the 2.4 channel.
My Wireless 2.4 settings are channel 11, Extension channel 7, Wireless mode N (have tried with just g and b, g, and n modes), Bandwidth 20/40, Protected mode on, QOS off.
I've talked to Belkin tech support, they are the ones who had me set up my 2.4 channel this way but my wireless speeds stay just under 2MBps, they just want to keep sending me the same model Router because they think each of the new ones they send me is defective.
Am I doing something wrong or is 2MBps the best wireless speed I'm going to get?

Recently my desktop has experienced very slow download speeds (~0.11 Mbps), however the upload speed appears to be in line (~2.0Mbps). These numbers are taken from Comcast's speed test (my ISP). It is obviously a problem with my PC because everything else on the network (PS3, Laptop) have great signals with no problems. I just recently reverted the Desktop back to its factory state, and everything was working fine for a couple of months. The desktop in question uses Vista 32-bit and the Belkin Basic USB Wireless Adapter.

In my house...I have one router upstairs (Belkin F5D8236-4) and great signal upstairs...downstairs signal is not so swift and sometimes, I can't even get a signal. So I thought let me go purchase a router (router # 2) and set it up downstairs and see if that will improve the signal of my Belkin. The 2nd router I purchased is a Belkin N150 (I thought buy 2 Belkins...maybe they can communicate better?). What I need to know is how do I connect the Belkin N150, to my Belkin F5.. and just use it to strengthen my signal to my downstairs part of the house?

I see the switch to toggle the QOS on and off, but it is greyed out in on and will not allow me to switch. I would like to see if it solves the speed problem with my iPad. The newest firmware is installed in the router. I also tried changing other fields to see if it would unlock the quality of service field with no luck.

N600 router will not comunicate with my desktop computer through a cisco switch. The LAN was working fine when I was using a Linksys router. Is this a compatability problem between Belkin and Linksys products?
