Internet help please!?

I have Comcast, Motorolla modem and a Netgear WNR2000v2 Router

I want to reset my router. I have tried literally everything on all the help sites.

Everything in our house can connect to the internet but my computer with a Belkin USB adapter.

My computer can find the net work but it won't join. It fails "due to an unknown reason"

Thus, I think we need to reset our network.

We switched rooms, so I jused to have the router and modem and my sister had the USB adapter. Could that be part of the problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you need more info, let me know. Please check back on this question as I am going to bed soon, but I will add more Info if necessary.

Thank you for your help!

Jenna

    Well, first try to figure out wha's wrong. Try eliminating one possibility at a gime. Does your usb adapter work with other routers or elsewhere? easiest one to figure it out. Then does your comcast work with another computer using ehternet cable? If yes that brings you down to the router itslef. Now what kind of security you have. Have you tried the password that you set up on the router? Is there a button type of a small kind of a pin hole to reset the router. If yes, press a small bobby pin or poke something in there for 30 seconds while router is running. Make sure it says reset button next to it. Dont wreck your router by pressing a pin somewhere else.

    Then try http://www.routerlogin.com./ Enter the username (admin) and password. By default, the password is password or 1234

    and reconfigure it. Make sure you reset the wireless security.

    If your comcast modem is old you are entitled for a new modem with wireless. I would recommend to do that since this is an old router and try a new usb which may sometimes can be found on amazon or ebay for $5.

    Yeah. technologies specifically, extremely. at circumstances whilst we are meant to be social, it saddens me because of the fact all people is messing around on their telephone or computing device rather of healthily interacting with stay human beings. i assume it is wonderful in case you do no longer spend too lots time with technologies, yet there is in no way a ignored threat to construct actual existence relationships, you realize what I recommend? technologies quite has its positives and negatives.
