[QUOTE="DalaNorth, post: 137714, member: 27872"] Hello! Thought I'd give you a little update on what happened with this. The tech guy from my ISP finally showed up and spent approximately one and a half hours trying to get this to work. Among other things, he tried changing the speed and duplex of the converter, but couldn't find a setting or specification for this on the router, so no luck there. He also tried various other settings and finally even tried replacing the converter, but no luck. He finally basically just gave up and said "you should have just bought a NetGear router, I've never had any problems with them.". So, as soon as he left I replaced the router for the second time, this time buying a Netgear WGR614. Presto! It worked! I still don't know what the problem was, but obviously the two routers I previously tried were not compatible with that exact converter model. I had tried the router successfully at my parents place and they have the same ISP, but apparently (according to the tech guy) since they live in an apartment and I live in a house, the converter models aren't exactly the same. Anyway. Problem solved. Conclusion: Belkin F5D7230-4 and Philips SNK5600 routers don't work with all types of fiber converters... Thanks anyway Regards DalaNorth [/QUOTE]
