Now with the replacement Belkin F5D router with version 2. I don't see how having 1 router per pc will make them see one another any better than with the two I'm fighting with now. A better solution would be to replace the Belkin with a router made by a company that specializes in electronics like LinkSys or D-Link. Heck even Microsoft's has got to be better. I do agree that the router when used like the basic appliance it is does work.
But would you buy a car whose basic features work but not the cd player or outside mirrors? Then connectivity to the router is again lost. I did not find a way for this to be done with the Belkin.

Then I see a link in the interface that says you can use it as an Access Point only. All works fine. I can't get back into the router with the web interface using the static IP I assigned it or even the default I have to do a hard reset, then set it up as a router again.
Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? I really would like to just use this as an access point. Thanks, Jamie. You need to connect directly to it if it is in AP mode, not through a router or wireless, etc.
I have done that as well. No joy at all. Some do, some do not. I have the same router for the same reason and with the same problem. I am also cable connected to the router for configuring it. The router does work but once you enter WAP mode further access to the router's config screens stops.
