Hi soapmom,
It is recommended to use for wireless connections the settings mentioned in the below link :
https://www.dell.com/fr-fr
However, Belkin router does have issues with recognizing the difference between WPA=PSK(TKIP) Security(Personal) and WPA-AES. You may have to try using WEP Security or NO security and see if you can connect.
Please revert for clarification.

This did not fix anything. It is not the Belkin router. It is with the Dell computer. The Belkin works on my other three Dell computers and every computer that comes to my home with my other children. Have had nothing but problems out of all the Dell computers. Their problems are never easy to fix either. I waste more time working on these computers than I do accomplishing anything on them. Meanwhile the computer says its connected but I cannot log on to the internet,
If any out there have any suggestions.

Hi soapmom,
You can try the below mentioned troubleshooting steps and this will help us to isolate the issue:
1. If the notebook has Windows 7, right-click the network icon in the notification area of your taskbar, and then click Troubleshoot problems else follow the next steps.
2. Check the Distance: If more than 30 feet - It's the distance and Interference issue. Move computer closer to wireless router. If cannot move closer, consider buying Wireless range expander or External antenna.
3. Check if we can connect to any other available network (other than one from Belkin Router). If Yes with a Good Signal. Issue is with the router.
4. Change the Advanced card properties. Please check this link to find details about Advanced card properties: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/network/wlan/en/UG_EN/props.htm#toc_70
5. Change the wireless channels in the Advanced card properties to 11 or 6.
6. Disable Bluetooth Collaboration also in Advanced card properties.
7. Update Wireless card drivers and BIOS from support dell.com site using wired connection. (http://support.dell.com) using wired connection.
Note: Plug your computer to a good, working UPS before you update the BIOS. If you experience a loss of AC power or a significant voltage sag/spike during the BIOS flash, you will either have to buy a new BIOS chip or buy a new motherboard.
Do reply with results.

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
1.) I had aleady checked the distance and that was not an issue.
2.) I cannot connect to any available networks but my 2 other computers can and they pick up on the Belkin as well. In fact, I have the computer I am using at the moment right beside the one that will not log on to the internet.
3.)I disabled the bluetooth
4.) I have windows xp not windows 7
5.) Still have no internet access

Hi Soapmom,
Please reply with the exact System Model Number of your Dell Laptop which has the problem. In addition to the troubleshooting we have tried so far, please uninstall and then reinstall the Wireless Card Drivers. You can download the Drivers for the wireless card from our support site:
http://support.dell.com/
Also, check the wireless card functionality in "Safe Mode with Networking".
Please do write back to us.
