Hi

I have a broadband cable service and have purchased a belkin wireless router. My cable router currently connects via usb. I have connected the router as per instructions but my PC won't connect via the router and my laptop (wireless connection) connects to the network but won't connect to the internet.

Have I purchased the wrong wireless device or am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hard to say from your post, but when you say your cable router, do you mean your cable modem? I assume your internet service is OK from your wired PC and you've either run the Belkin's setup or configured the router manually.. Do you have the option of connecting via ethernet?
