I have been using a Belkin wireless cable/dsl router with my ntl cable modem fro two weeks now. I recently tried to put a password on it so nobody could use it, to do this I followed instructions enabling some stuff I cant remmeber. I clicked ok to confuirm this and the page did not load. From then on whenever I try to connect to the wireless network it says acquiring network status and a message comes up saying limited or no connectivity. How do i get this working again and connect to the wireless network. thanks

running WinXP with Service Pack 2?
right-click on the wireless icon -> View Available Networks -> double-click on yours; it will then ask if you want to disconnect from your network, select "Disconnect"
It will then re-search available networks, again double-click on yours, and now it will come up with a screen asking for a Network Key.
the Network Key is the WEP or WPA encryption you entered into the router.

If you cannot remember what you entered, log in to the router from a wired computer, and get the needed info :)
