Stupid Arseing Belkin Router

[ArosaMike]

Since we got this router at home a few months ago, I've had endless problems with it. I'd hardly say I'm a networking pro, but I usually know my way around and I've succesfully got two Wi-Fi networks working at Uni, but this one.....this is something else!

I have absolutely no idea why, but despite completely starting from scratch a number of times now, the same problem keeps happening. Basically, it seems that depending what computer is on when you reset the router, the others refuse to connect without that one being turned on. You'd think that if you turned them all on at once and reset the router it would solve the problem but no! It then just chooses a random one to rely on.

Anyone got a clue what's going on?

Is the router depending on another computer for a connection to the WAN (internet) port? If so, you need to make sure that connection goes directly into the router. You can't have the router depending on another computer.

I've configured a Belkin router once, and it was a nightmare.

At home I'm sticking with 3Com.
