Hi guys having a nightmare trying to connect my mrs pc to the internet wirelessly with the above hub. Done the usual things entered wep key ect but it just wont connect any suggestions please?
 
isn't it setup using WPA? Make sure it's also case-sensitive if WPA. If so, make sure drivers are up to date etc. for the wireless card and then try again...
Also, is the signal decent? I've seen problems when the signal isn't decent enough for the pc to actually verify it's on the network...
 
Yep done that m8 and the signal is excellent.

Its finding the home hub ok but its not connecting at all to the internet.
 
use wpa2 exclusively, its more secure.

However what device are you connecting?

Obviously both the device and the hub must support wpa2 to connect. (Fairly academic these days anyway)

How long is the key your tring to use? I put a key in to my home hub that was too long basically to connect ipads too.

I cut it down to a key length of 10 characters and it connected.
 
HH connected to t'internet fine? What OS are you using? Think a few more details are required...

Pssst Belkin drivers can be pants...might have to resort to WEP to connect reliably
 
Try using the auto detect feature thing on the HH3 (check the right hand side). There is a button there that allows you to connect any device to the router for 2 mins and it's all automated.
 
OP, does the wireless connection device get an IP from the router DHCP? If it does, is it something straight forward like 192.168.0.10, or is it falling back to something more random looking? The former suggests the connection to the router is good, the later suggests the device is failing to pass the key check. Also, check that the connection device doesnt have statically allocated ip addresses. The number of times i have banged my head against a brick wall because i forget to change the device to 'get automatically'

I don't know anything about the home hubs, do they have some sort of 'allowed devices' list like netgear routers?

Using XP os actualy found a way to do it thanks though guys. Removed the belkin software and just added the adapter drivers then used the xp windows network connections to get it added, was easy enough once I found out how to switch the dang windows network stuff on as it was switched off.
