Link LED is blinking slowly; Cannot connect to a wireless

network or the Internet

If your Card appears to be functioning properly, but you cannot
connect to a network or you have a red wireless icon at the
bottom of your screen, the problem may be that there is a
mismatch between the network name (SSID) settings in your
wireless network properties.

Check the SSID settings to see if they match. The SSID is
case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer must be
exactly the same in order for the Card to connect to the
Wireless Router or Access Point.

Note: To check the SSID settings or look for an available
network, double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the
“Wireless Networks” screen. Click “Add” if you do not see the
network you are trying to connect to and type in the SSID.

For more information about setting up a SSID please reference

your router manufactures user manual. If issues persist even at

close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support.

Link LED is solid but cannot connect to the Internet

If you have a signal but can’t get online or obtain an IP address,
the problem may be that there is a mismatch between the
Encryption key settings in your computer and Wireless Router
or Access Point.

Check the WEP key settings to see if they match. The key is
case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer and Wireless
Router or Access Point must be exactly the same in order for the
Adapter to connect to the router. For more information about
encryption please see “Securing your Wi-Fi Network” on page 16
of this manual.

If issues persist even at close range, please contact please
contact Belkin Technical Support.
