    Switch everything off at the power.

    connect the ethernet cable from the cable modem to the router, using the WAN port on the router

    connect the ethernet cable from the pc to the router using one of the lan ports.

    switch on the modem only. wait for at least two minutes until ready and sync lights are stable.

    switch on router, wait for two minutes

    switch on pc, wait for two minutes after it has fully booted up.

    Follow instructions in quick set up guide ref setting up SSID

    If above successful then set up laptop.

    Belkin are one of the easiest routers to set up.
