Help with Belkin N150 Wireless Router?

I bought and set up a Belkin N150 Wireless Router so that I could get internet on my android phone at home. Tried to connect per the directions but did not work. Not very good with computers. Can someone please help?

How to get my wireless connection working?

Hey there. Normally I simply enter the network security key to access my internet, but for some reason I keep getting authentication problems. I know it’s the correct key because I am successfully connected on my computer; I am now trying to connect with a tablet.

I think it might have to do with the WPS thing. I have a separate password from the access point for WPS. Do I have to put that before I put the WPA network key? If so, what does it do? Because I have put it before, but nothing’s happened.

I have a generic, no-name tablet, but it uses the Android system if that helps in terms of providing you with information about my problem.
@ Matt: Thanks for the answer, Matt! Can I do that if I am not the administrator? I am merely renting a room in a stranger’s house. I do have access to the modem, though.
Now, instead of saying “authentication problem”, it just keeps saying “connecting” over and over. It’s been doing that for the past 20 minutes.
I’m doing research about WPS pins and it says they are supposed to be 9-digits. The one on my router is only 8. Could this be the problem?
When I try to connect multiple times through WPS, it says that the WPS is still working and might take a while. How long should it take? It’s been hours (I’d been doing this for a while before I asked the question.)

How To Connect Xbox To Laptop?

Okay, so I have a xbox 360 and want to sign into xbox live. I have no router and no modem, just a laptop and my phone. I get internet from my phone to my laptop by usb tethering, it is an android phone by the way. So when i try to bridge the connections, it cant. So I used my dads phone (also android) and tethered it. I Go To Network And Sharing Center and change the phone to LAN (Local Area Network) and tried to connect to xbox live and it worked! But when i try with my fone the only options are either Wireless Network Or Network Bridge. So how can i change my phone to a local area network?? My computer is windows vista.

Android update Sony Ericsson Xperia X8?

I’m looking at buying the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, but you have to update Android yourself from v1.6 to 2.1. The problem is, it only works on Windows computers and my personal computer is a Mac.
My dad has a Windows PC so I could do it from there, but then does that mean that the phone would always be connected to the PC and I wouldn’t be able to transfer music/photos onto the Mac? Or is using the Windows just for the update okay?
Thanks in advance

Do you have a Samsung Galaxy GT-S5830?

(Android), I want to transfer my photos to my PC and I read the following: Pull down the top bar on your phone and select USB connection. There you’ll find several ways that the phone can connect to the PC. Pick the one you want.
One hint: If Windows Media Sync doesn’t work for syncing media, try USB Mass Storage.

I can’t find a top bar to pull down, as described above. No instruction came with this Samsung cell phone.
Please note; I have a laptop with windows vista.

Would it cost to transfer music?

The Pirate bay UK block Virgin media workaround?

If like me you have virgin media and today found that you couldn’t visit the pirate bay because it’s been blocked, well here’s a workaround. This worked for me, if you have an iPhone 4S this will work. Make sure you disconnect your laptop or PC from your virgin connection, then disconnect your iPhones wifi. Then make your 4S a hotspot and then connect your laptop or PC to it. Now you can go to the pirate bay using your phones 3G, download the torrent files you want and then when your done reconnect your laptop or PC and then open the torrent file and it will download. This works because the trackers have not been blocked. I did this today with my iPhone 4S using my MacBook pro. I don’t know if android phones offer hotspot services to but check if you have a droid phone.

Problem with Android Apps?

I have a Samsung i5500 Galaxy and at home I connect to the Internet over our private wi-fi. The connection is fast, obviously. I am only having problems with some android apps like Angry Birds Space because it won’t start downloading. On my notifications it stays under the On going downloads but after 2 seconds it disappears and it doesn’t install on my phone. Other apps work well, I installed Inotia 3 and it worked fine. I badly want Angry Birds Space on my phone but it doesn’t really start downloading, not even from my PC. Help please?

How to put songs on an Android?

I got an Android (Samsung Galaxy Mini) and I connected it to my laptop to put songs on it. So then I was prompted to insert the disc I got with the phone but I didn’t get any disc!

usb storage won’t connect with my android?

Computer not recognizing my phone?

Okay, so I have a Android Galaxy S phone. (Mesmerize) And I connect it via USB cable, but, though it charges, it won’t recognize my phone itself on the computer. I’d like to transfer files and things, but it’s impossible if it can’t recognize of course. When connected, no sound, no little notification, no error message, just nothing, while on the phone, it shows nothing other then it’s charging, so even when I go to Settings>USB settings>Ask on connection, it never even recognizes its connected, even though it’s charging, so they’re both stupid liars. xp But yeah. I’ve tried the “Mass Storage” Option, I’ve tried “Samsung Kies” (I have it on my computer too-but to no help, the program doesn’t recognize most if not nearly all of my music files anyway-even if I’ve converted them to mp3). I’ve called the computer company, no help. I tried to go to Settings>Wireless & Networks>Tethering, but it says “No USB device connected” even if I can see that they are in fact connected with my naked eye. So what do I do?

Devices:
*Phone: Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize (Android)
*Computer: VAIO – Windows Home Premium 7 64-bit Operating System (White Laptop)
If you plan to answer, please do so, but do not be a b-tch about it.
Be polite & helpful, thanks!

with an android tablet pc after buying it is there a monthly charge?

Exactly what I said is what I mean.. If I go and buy lets say the bundle at walmart for an android tablet pc will I have to pay monthly to use it? Or can I just use internet on it to connect to my home internet wireless? I am just debating if it is even worth buying a tablet since I already pay for internet and phone I don’t really want an additional bill each month.
