Ever since I upgraded my PC to Windows 8 the internet has been SLOW... It works fine still on my tablets and PS3. Looking online they seem to say I need new drivers? Not sure what to do.

I have several laptops that work fine with my wireless router. I have a new laptop with Windows7 and it will not stay connected for more than a couple of minutes at a time. Are there any issues with this router and Windows7?

I upgraded from Vista 64 bit to Win 7 64bit and one of the first things I've noticed was that youtube videos take forever to load, I use to stream on 720p videos in realtime but now even 360p can struggle to load, 480p videos you have to pause for 30 seconds. Oddly, speedtest indicate my full 15mbps down and 1mbps up, regular downloads go fast but streaming youtube, vimeo, or anykind of videos take a while.
My initial guess was that it has something to do with the Wi-fi PCI card. I have D-Link dwl G-550 and on windows compatibility center it says its not supported. Windows 7 automatically detected and installed its own drivers, it works ok.

Belkin F5D8236-4 v1 The Internet flashes amber and goes back to solid blue. It will stay blue on average for up to five minutes (this is not exact times) but on average it happens every five minutes. This is a constant issue. I've contacted my ISP (Comcast) and they said all looks fine on their end. My signals to them are just fine.
Sure, I can bypass the router all together, but my modem will NOT allow me to see any logs to know the issue is happening on their end. I'm feeling a bit confident its a router issue though.
I've reset both Modem and Router. I've made sure my connection was set to Dynamic. My router/security log does not offer up anything at the times this happens, but I do see several listings for "sending OFFER to a local IP of one of our laptops, but this does not match the times the router net light goes amber.
Yes, when the amber light is flashing on the globe/internet icon, I can still access my router page, but it does say DISCONNECTED. It will eventually go back to connected in a few minutes. This router is not very old and I've always praised Belkin routers, so crossing fingers my router is okay, times are tough for so many of us.

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 use comcast as an ISP and bought a zoom router to replace their router. I now want to use my old working Belkin router model F5D8236-4 as a repeater. Meaning I will use it after the Zoom router, wired, to extend the wireless capability to the other side of my house. Does this make any sense?

I am attempting to forward port 25565 on my router, and having some trouble. I've set a static IP address as both 192.168.2.10 and 192.168.2.111, and attempted a dynamic IP address. The port forwarding page via 192.168.2.1 in the browser looks like this, with the Private IP Adress changed to whatever corresponding IP address I have set (checked with cmd /ipconfig).
After testing with multiple online port checking tools, the ports remain closed.

Can I set up WPA2 on my Belkin N router F5D8236-4 V3 for a Macintosh running OS10.6.8? And for another machine running OS 10.8? The manual seems to talk about WPA2 for Windows and WEP for Macs, but I can't tell if this is because there are some issues before using the protocols.

I have a F5D8236-4 v2 wireless router. I have had problems with this router nearly since I bought it having to unplug it to reset at least once a day. Now it connects my hardwired PC to the internet, but the wireless led is blinking red. My network ID shows up on my wireless devices, allows me to choose connect and states connected on my wireless network tray icon, but then 2 seconds later it is not connected again. Is this simply a hardware failure that means I will have to buy another new router after only 6 months?

IPhone 5 will not play YouTube videos, shows everything else, info and screen pic, but says "playback error" when on wifi. Using a Belkin F5D8236-4v3 router. Works fine otherwise. The IPhone played back video properly on an ATT router. I know how to get to router setup pages but am not very competent in understanding it all.

I can't download an app from Google Play Store. I can download from my 4G network but not the wifi - Belkin F5D8236-4 V3. Google troubleshooting says the firewall is blocking the 'ports required for Google Play to download (TCP and UDP 5228) on that network.' However, with the firewall 'disabled,' the download is still not working.

I have a Belkin N Wireless Router Model F5D8236-4 V2. WEP security.. We have just bought a Samsung Note 10.1 Tablet. We have entered the password Key and the tablet is saying that the network is 'secured,saved' but it will not connect to the internet. We have several laptops and phones that work ok but the Samsung Note will not connect.. We have taken the Note to a friends house and it connects to the internet no problem so I know issue is with the router..

Does my Belkin F5D8236-4 ver. 1 (firmware 1.00.02) router support Apple's Bonjour print application. I can't get my iPhone or iPad to recognize my new HP Photosmart 7520 wireless printer which is connected to my network through my router.

I have a Wireless N router model F5D8236-4 v2 (01) with firmware 2.00.04 (Nov 12 2008 10:51:08) and it's not showing all issued wireless or Wired IP addresses in DHCP Client List.
They all have IP addresses and connect to the internet through the router, but in the router administration page, they're not listing. The Windows devices all show but most of the Mac devices are not, nor is my XBox 360.
My reason for investigating this is because the router seems to keep losing the Mac devices and a router reboot fixes it, but it shouldn't have this problem because all the Windows devices just seem to work.
According to the support page I have the latest available (dated November 12, 2008 which really seems kinda old to me for a Wireless N router). Are there any plans for a new firmware offering for this modem or have you already deprecated it as "legacy equipment"?

Windows Vista Home Premium..Router - Belkin F5D8236-4...Whenever I use my I-Pod Touch Wi-Fi to watch Youtube, go on the Internet, Etc., Etc. It blocks the Internet to my Computer and whichever computer is on LAN. I have tried 4 different browsers and no Internet. When I click Diagnose it says "There may be a problem with your DNS configuration" I know that this is not the case because the my I-Pod is still streaming the video.

Looking to add my belkin wireless router to Sbg6580 router as an access point to extend wireless. I've read up enough to understand the fundamentals - LAN to LAN, changing IPs, turn off DCHP etc. - but am confused by a couple of things.
First, belkin faqs says to Open the router page, click on "use as access point" (I get that) "Select Enable" (I also get that), and then it goes on to say "This will give you the options to set the IP Address and Subnet mask for the router.**These settings should match your existing network settings; by default the IP address will be set to 192.168.2.254 and the Subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0". Does this mean to set the IP address of the Belkin to that of the Motorola (which is 192.168.0.1) on this page?
Then the FAQ goes on to say access the LAN and "change the IP Address to something such as 192.168.2.47 or you can use 192.168.2.200.**As long as the first three sets of numbers match your existing network, you will be fine". I thought the LAN IP address should fall outside the DCHP range of the Motorola? So if the DHCP range for the Motorola is 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.250 then I'd assign 192.168.0.251 to the Belkin?

I've got a Belkin F5D8236-4 wireless router. I've had no trouble connecting three laptops to it, but I've completely failed with my HTC smartphone and a friend has failed with a iPhone, I've also failed with an iPod. I've just got a Nexus 7, for my birthday, and that won't connect either! All devices find the network, they just don't connect!

I have a Belkin N Wireless Router Model F5D8236, which has served my laptop with wireless and my wifes desktop computer through a ethernet cable for the last year.Recently we had to move her computer to another room so I got a Usb Wireless adapterNow when I try to connect her desktop to the network it says the settings do not match, or when prompeted for the PSK, it says its wrong, even though I'm dead sure I put it in right.I've tried transferring a copy of the settings with a flash drive, I tried resetting the router a dozen times, and all the wp2 settings.The USB adapter works, because when I turn the security feature off on the router, suddenly it can connect to the network.

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.

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.
