Thank you for purchasing the Belkin ADSL2+ Modem with Wireless G Router (the
Router). In minutes you will be able to share your Internet connection and network
your computers with your new Router. The following is a list of features that make
your Router an ideal solution for your home or small office network. Please be sure
to read through this User Manual completely, and pay special attention to Appendix
B entitled “Important Factors for Placement and Setup”.
Product Features
Compatibility with both PCs and Mac® Computers
The Router supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS® 8.x,
9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 95, 98SE, Me, NT®, 2000, XP, Vista,
and others. You need an Internet browser and a network adapter that supports
TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).
Front-Panel LED Display
Lighted LEDs on the front of the Router indicate which functions are in operation.
You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Router is connected to the Internet.
This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and status-monitoring
procedures.
Web-Based Advanced User Interface
You can set up the Router’s advanced functions easily through your web browser,
without having to install additional software onto the computer. There are no disks
to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can make changes and perform setup
functions from any computer on the network quickly and easily.
Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch
The Router has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired computers
to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and much more. The switch
features automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed of connected devices.
The switch will transfer data between computers and the Internet simultaneously
without interrupting or consuming resources.
Integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point
802.11g is an exciting new wireless technology that achieves data rates up to
54Mbps, nearly five times faster than 802.11b.

Introduction
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes for
the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP
addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a complicated
networking setup.
NAT IP Address Sharing
Your Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the single IP
address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving the cost of
adding additional IP addresses to your Internet service account.
SPI Firewall
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide
array of common hacker attacks including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death
(PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, TCP Null Scan,
SYN flood, UDP flooding, Tear Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP defect, and fragment
flooding.
MAC Address Filtering
For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client
identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its own
MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the web-based
user interface and you can control access to your network.
Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless operation of
voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-
compliant.
Support for VPN Pass-Through
If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN connection, your
Router will allow your VPN-equipped computer to pass through the Router and to
your office network.

Manually Configuring your Router
Changing LAN Settings
All settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed and changed
here.
LAN Settings
Clicking on the header of the LAN tab (A) will take you to the LAN tab’s header
page. A quick description of the functions can be found here. To view the settings
or make changes to any of the LAN settings, click on “LAN Settings” (B) or to view

Manually Configuring your Router
DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IP
addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The default setting is
“On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so,
you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network. To
turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on
your network. If you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new
starting and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The starting IP
address must be lower in number than the ending IP address.
Lease Time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer.
We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”. The default setting
is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular computer. Setting
lease times for shorter intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses
after the specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer’s IP
address may change over time. If you have set any of the other advanced features
of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP
address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change.
Local Domain Name
You can set a local domain name (network name) for your network. There is no
need to change this setting unless you have a specific advanced need to do so. You
can name the network anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.
DHCP Client List
You can view a list of the computers, which are connected to your network. You are
able to view the IP address of the computer, the host name (name of the computer
in your network), and the MAC address of the computer’s network interface card
(NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” button will update the list. If there have been any
changes, the list will be updated.

Internet WAN
The “Internet WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). The Router is capable of connecting to virtually
any ADSL Service Provider’s system provided you have correctly configured the
Router’s settings for your ISP’s connection type. Your connection settings are
provided to you by your ISP.
To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click
“Connection Type” (1) on the left side of the screen. Select the connection type
you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS” (2) allows you to
enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings. When you have
finished making settings, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “Connected” if
your Router is set up properly.

From the “Connection Type” page, you can select one of these five
connection types based on the instruction provided by your ISP:
PPPoE
PPPoA
Dynamic IP (1483 Bridged)
Static IP (IPoA)
Modem Only (Disable Internet Sharing)
Note: If you are not sure which connection type to select, please contact your ISP.
Select the type of connection you use by clicking the radio button next to your
connection type and then clicking “Next”.
