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.

Connect to Your Modem Router
Retrieve the network ID card from the foot of
your new Belkin Modem Router.
Can’t find the card? The default network name and password
are also printed on the foot of the Modem 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 21.
When requested, please enter the password
(security key) provided on the card.
When your device has connected to the Modem
Router, use a browser to visit http://Modem Router/.
The Modem Router homepage will appear.

5
GETTING STARTED
If the page does not load, then try visiting http://192.168.2.1 to see the
Modem Router homepage.
Click the “Detect my connection” button in green. (If you would rather
set up the Modem Router manually, click the “set it up manually” link
and proceed to page 11.)
After several moments, your Modem Router should automatically de-
tect your Internet connection and restart. This can take anywhere from
30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on your connection type.
If your Modem 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.

6
GETTING STARTED
Once your Modem 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 Modem
Router much easier.

7
GETTING STARTED
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 Modem Router. You will then
have to connect to the new network.
Please take this opportunity to register your Modem Router. This will
help technical support if there is a problem with your Modem 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.

GETTING STARTED
At the next screen you can download optional software that was
bundled with your Modem Router.
This screen shows you optional software that is available for your
Modem Router, such as the USB software to allow you to print through
the Modem 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.

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

GETTING STARTED
Using the WPS Button
1. Start WPS Push Button Connection (WPS PBC) on your computer
or other Wi-Fi device that you would like to connect wirelessly
to your Modem Router. Often there will be a button for this
purpose in software that came with the device, or a physical
“WPS,” “PBC,” or “Security” button on the device itself.
2.Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your
Modem Router and hold for two seconds.
The WPS light (small light above WPS button) will blink blue while it
listens for your Wi-Fi device. Once a connection is established, the
light will turn blue and then go out. If a connection is not established,
the light will blink amber. You may repeat the process to try again.
You can repeat this process for each WPS-enabled
device you’d like to add to your network.

mode (check with your ISP if you are unsure), then click “Apply Changes.”

by ISP” option to “No” and enter the address details supplied by
your ISP. Then enter the above values, and click “Apply Changes.”

are unsure of which you need) and press “Next.”
If these steps do not work, try restarting the
Modem Router and repeating the process.
