    make sure you set the encryption type on the router to match your devices, i.e. no good using WEP on the router if your devices don't go that far back. Set router to use WPA, change the key, and then try reconnecting devices via wifi to the router :)


    oh, and the obvious one, that the router's wifi is switched ON ;)

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    If Gunjack's suggestion does not work, give belkin a call.
    If they can't help you sort it, they'll get you a free replacement under their lifetime warranty scheme.
