I have just bought a Belkin wireless g network card (F5D7000uk) to go with a netgear router (WGR614). I can ping router with network card. I have tried disabling the nic and still does not work. I could get internet through the nic before. Tried disabling norton and my firewall. The computer has detected the network card and all drivers are installed plus the software on the disk that came with it. Wireless status is connected and strength is excellent but still i can not connect to the internet. I have tried everything i can think of and would really appreciate any advice!

Quick, focused checklist for a Belkin F5D7000 + Netgear WGR614 setup when the wireless adapter shows a link but there’s no Internet. Building on points from and , these steps avoid things already suggested and target the next most-likely causes: client/driver conflicts, DNS/routing vs NAT problems, router-level access controls, and Windows networking stack issues.

Run these diagnostic commands from an elevated command prompt and note results (especially Gateway and DNS entries):

ipconfig /all
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
nslookup example.com
tracert 8.8.8.8

If DNS lookups fail but a traceroute to an external IP completes, it’s a DNS issue — try manual DNS (e.g., 8.8.8.8) to test. If traceroute fails right after leaving the LAN, suspect NAT/firewall or router WAN problems. Check for these less-obvious causes: the Belkin client vs Windows wireless manager conflict (uninstall one), active MAC filtering or wireless isolation on the router that blocks that adapter, duplicate IPs or multiple active adapters/virtual NICs changing route metrics, and outdated card driver or router firmware. Also confirm there’s no proxy configured in Internet Options (common cause when pages won’t load despite “connected”).

If the issue appeared after a software install or update, reset the TCP/IP/Winsock stack (command above) and uninstall any recent network-related utilities. If problems persist, test with a different wireless client (phone/laptop) or temporarily connect the PC by Ethernet to isolate whether the router’s WAN/ISP link is the problem. Mention to : gather the ipconfig /all output and results of nslookup/tracert — those will pinpoint whether the fault is DNS, routing, or router-level blocking and allow the community to give a targeted next step.

well if you disable the network card, it's not going to work.

Try starting Windows in safe mode:

Oh and do what TheNNS said. The NIC will not work when it's disabled.

If it doesn't work in safe mode, and it worked find before, can you at leeast access the router config? Try typing in the router's IP address into the web browser.

Also, what IP address are you reporting? If it's a 169.*.*.*, then you've got the wrong one. Try restarting your router and your computer.
