For the best results, place the Router 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

5
GETTING STARTED
1. Connect your Router’s ADSL cable to your phone jack or phone-
jack adapter (microfilter). If you are replacing an existing Router
or gateway, this may require unplugging the existing gateway.
Note: If required by your Internet Service Provider (ISP),
plug the included phone-jack adapter (microfilter) into your
wall-mounted phone jack. Please check with your provider
before connecting your Router if you are unsure whether or
not you need to use the included phone-jack adapter.
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.

GETTING STARTED
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.
If the setup software is unable to detect your VCI and VPI
settings based on your country, you may also need to enter
this information. Your ISP is likely to have provided it.

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.
