I am trying to set up my Belkin ADSL modem and Linksys wireless-N router (model WRT120N) in a new location. They worked perfectly together in my old apartment.The modem installed and configured OK, and I get a good internet connection using the LAN cable direct to my PC.I reset the router to its factory default, and then reconfigured it using the wizard on the CD that came with it. Everything runs smoothly, and it tells me it has installed and configured correctly, and is ready to use.Everything seems to be OK - except I can't connect my smartphone (Samsung S3) to the WiFi signal! (It could be a phone problem not a modem/router problem, but it's the only wireless device I have on hand to test the signal. And it works OK using the old Thomson modem/router I'm trying to replace).I've tried switching everything (phone, computer, modem, and router) off then on again after a couple of minutes.I've tried re-configuring the router (twice). I tried different wireless security options thinking that might make a difference: when using WPA/WPA2 the phone "authenticates" for a small eternity after entering the password - normally it would connect to a new signal almost immediately. When using WEP the phone shows "disabled" immediately after entering the password.I don't know what to do next, other than going back to the old system that I thought I was improving on!I don't pretend to know much about this, so please keep any advice as non-technical as possible.
