I cannot connect to the belkin F6D4630-4-V2 via my old laptop, it has xp on it. I have removed the existing preferred networks, changed the router to 'security mode' disabled (in case security errors) still no luck

i don't want the helpline as they can ruin all the other connections I have and the router works fine.

OK, I'll try a different approach. When you "View Available Wireless Networks", do you see your wireless network name? If not, then do you see any others (such as your neighbour's)? If you get a message saying that none could be found, and you're using a built-in wireless adapter, then make sure it's switched on.

Or are you saying that you can establish a wireless connection but you're unable to get an Internet connection?
