Connect to Your Router

Retrieve the network ID card from the foot of your new Belkin
Router.
[Diagram of bottom of the router showing service card – can be
obtained from “Tested QIG 2011 07 14.pdf” provided]
Can’t find the card? The default network name and password are also printed on the foot of
the Router.
Use your computer, tablet, or smartphone to connect to the
wireless network shown on the network ID card.
For information on how to connect your wireless devices, please see the “Connect Your
Wireless Devices” section on page 20.
When requested, please enter the password (security key) provided
on the card.

When your device has connected to the Router, use a
browser to visit http://router/.The router homepage will
appear.
If the page does not load, then try visiting http://192.168.2.1 to see
the router homepage.
Click the “Detect my connection” button in green. (If you would
rather set up the Router manually, click the “set it up manually”
link and proceed to page 10.)
After several moments, your Router should automatically detect
your Internet connection and restart. This can take anywhere from
30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on your connection type.
If your Router is unable to establish an Internet connection on its
own, you may be asked to restart your modem or provide a
username and password if your connection requires one. Follow
the on-screen instructions provided.

Once your Router is online, it will determine if there is a firmware
update available and offer to install it. Please allow up to 5 minutes
for the firmware to update.
If there are no updates available, then setup will proceed.

At the next screen you will be invited to change your network
name and password. Re-using your previous network name (SSID)
and password makes connecting your existing devices to the new
router much easier.
If you decide to change these settings, then enter the new values
and click “Save and Continue.” (Note: The password must be at
least 8 characters long.)
If you changed your network name and password, make note of it
on the service card located on the foot of the Router. You will then
have to connect to the new network.

Please take this opportunity to register your Router. This will help
technical support if there is a problem with your Router.

Simply complete each of the required fields and click “Complete
Registration.” If you don’t want to register right now, click
“Register Later” to proceed.

At the next screen you can download optional software that was
bundled with your Router.
This screen shows you optional software that is available for your
Router, such as the USB software to allow you to print through the
Router’s USB port. If you wish to download and install any of
these software programs, simply click on the button appropriate for
your device.
When finished installing optional software, click “Thanks, take me
to the dashboard.”

Congratulations! You are now at your Router’s dashboard. Your
Router is set up and ready to use.

Manually Set Up Your Internet
Connection
Use a browser to visit http://router/. You can also try visiting http://192.168.2.1/. The
Router’s Welcome page should appear.

Click the “Set it up manually” link. Please select the type of connection your ISP
provides. Refer to page 15 for a description of the connection types.
<Image of SelectConnection screen>
If the selected connection type requires additional information
(such as an ISP username and password), the system will ask you
for it.
At the next screen you will be invited to change your network
name and password. Reusing your previous network name (SSID)
and password makes connecting your existing devices to the new
router much easier.

If you decide to change these settings, then enter the new values
and click “Save and Continue.” (Note: The password must be at
least 8 characters long.)
If you changed your network name and password, make note of it
on the service card located on the foot of the Router. You will then
have to connect to the new network. Please refer to page 20 to do
this.

Congratulations! You are now at your Router’s dashboard. Your

The status of your Internet connection is shown in the
upper left corner of the Router’s homepage.
If it does not say “Online,” troubleshooting information will be
displayed.
Manually Configuring Your Router’s
Internet from the Dashboard
To set up your ISP connection manually, select “ISP Connection
Type” from the list under the header “WAN Settings.”
Dynamic Connection
Cable and fiber customers generally require a dynamic
connection. Some DSL customers require a PPPoE
connection. Let’s try dynamic first. Select “Dynamic” from the
menu that appears and press “Next.”

A host name is generally not required. Hit “Save.” The Router will
restart.

If after a few minutes your Internet Status says “Online,” you’re
done! You can surf the Internet.
If these steps do not work, try restarting your modem and
repeating the process.
If not, we’ll try a PPPoE connection next.
PPPoE Connection
Some DSL customers require a PPPoE connection. Select
PPPoE this time and press “Next.”
