Belkin N wireless router

I treated myself to a wireless router so I could use my Asus netbook in my extension.
I set it up as per the instructions and used WAP for the security.
I went into the extension last night to try it out and the speed was very good.
However this morning I connected to it and although it was showing 100% connection, it kept timing out on the pages I wanted.
As I have never used wireless before can anyone give me a clue as to what is going wrong.

if u have 100% connection (guess ur talking about signal quality?) then u have a problem with ur internet connection settings on the router

I finally sorted it, by deleting all the settings for the wireless connection and rebooting the netbook.
Since then it has worked with no problems.

i know u fixed it but i just had a thought that something else that might cause that symptom would be the mac address filtering enabled without ur computer being added to the address list.

Well it has been connecting for 24 hours now, so I will leave well alone.
But thanks for that other tip theron, I will keep that in mind.
