Initial Setup
Where to Place Your Router
For the best results, place the Router next to your modem in
an open location away from large metal objects and magnets
such as those found in speakers. Raising the Router above
floor level can improve the strength of your wireless signal.

How to Set It Up

3
GETTING STARTED
1. Connect your Router’s Ethernet cable to your modem’s Ethernet
port (on the back of your modem). This port might be labeled
differently on your particular modem. If you are adding a
Router for the first time, this port may be connected to your
computer by an Ethernet cable. It is OK to disconnect your
computer and plug the Router into the modem instead.
2. Plug the Router’s power supply into a wall outlet.
3. Put the CD into your computer. If the CD doesn’t
open automatically, please browse to your CD drive
and double-click on the Belkin Setup CD icon.
4. Click the Setup icon on the CD menu.

5. After a brief installation, the setup software will ask you
for the network name and password from the network
information card that is attached to your Router. Store the
card under the base of your Router for future reference.

6. A progress screen will appear while additional software is
installed. This may take a few minutes to complete. Once
finished, a “Success” message will appear indicating that you
are connected to the Internet via your new Belkin Router.
During setup you may be asked for additional information.
You may need to enter a username and password provided
by your ISP. This username and password is likely to be
found on materials that came from your ISP when you
signed up for service. If necessary, you may need to contact
your ISP to retrieve your username and password.
If you have a static IP address, you may need to enter
additional information also provided by your ISP.
If your computer doesn’t have a wireless adapter, or the
setup software is unable to control it, you may be asked to
connect your computer to the Router with a network cable.

Advanced Tools & Settings
After the initial setup is complete, you have the option to
change settings like your network name, security type, and
password. To make these changes and others, click on the
Advanced Tools icon at the CD Setup menu and select one
of the following settings that you would like to change:
Network Name & Security – Personalize your network name
(SSID), password, and strength of wireless security.
Internet Service Provider & Login Settings – Have
you moved or changed Internet Service Providers?
If you’d like to change these settings without running
through the setup process again, this is the place.

To access the Router settings, click on the icon
and select from the menu that appears.
The status of your Router is shown by the Belkin Router Manager
icon, which closely mimics the light on the front of the Router.

and it is connected to the Internet.

but it is not connected to the Internet.
