Quick Setup Guide
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
Connect Your AC750 DB Router
Turn off your modem by disconnecting its power supply. Some
modems have a battery backup; this will need to be disconnected at
this time as well.
Connect your Router to your modem using the cable
(already attached).
Power up your modem by plugging in its power supply. If your modem
has a battery backup, it can be reconnected at this time; you may
need to hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
Power up your Router by plugging in its power supply.

GETTING STARTED
Connect to Your Router
Retrieve the network ID card from the foot of your new Belkin Router.
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.

4
GETTING STARTED
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.

5
GETTING STARTED
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.

6
GETTING STARTED
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.

7
GETTING STARTED
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.

8
GETTING STARTED
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.

9
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 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 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.
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.

GETTING STARTED
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.
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.

11
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 Router. You will then have
to connect to the new network. Please refer to page 20 to do this.
Click “Great, what’s next?”

information will be displayed.

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.”

17
GETTING STARTED
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.

18
GETTING STARTED
PPPoE Connection
Some DSL customers require a PPPoE connection.
Select PPPoE this time and press “Next.”
