New router won't connect to the internet AUTOMATICALLY

    I can get the router running but when I turn the router on it doesn't connect to the internet so I have to use the connect wizard in network connections or click on repair.

    The old router automatically connected to the internet but thats broken down lately.

    Its a Belkin router and works better than the last one - once I get it going.

    Reset it to factory defaults and start again.

    How do I do that? Do you mean the router or the computer wireless connector?

    It will be on the Instruction manual, most likely small pinhole at the back of the router with the word reset written on it, press for about 30 seconds.

    its a Belkin :(

    1. Try WAN timout values, may be set to 1 hour in minutes or seconds.
    2. Try WAN connection timings to see if an always on option exists.
