Manual Setup
If you know what sort of Internet service you have, you might try a
manual setup. For this, you will need a Wi-Fi-enabled smartphone,
tablet, or computer.
Connect to Your Router
Retrieve the network ID card from the foot of your new Belkin
Router.

[Diagram of bottom of the router showing service card – can be
obtained from “Tested QIG 2011 07 14.pdf” provided]
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.
[Diagram of connecting to SSID screenshot – needs creating, take
direction from “Tested QIG 2011 07 14.pdf” provided]
When requested, please enter the password (security key) provided
on the card.
Take a moment to look at the light on the front of the Router. If it
is solid blue, your Router was able to connect to the Internet
automatically.

Connection” on page XX.

Manually Set Up Your Internet
Connection
Use a browser to visit http://router/
The router homepage should appear.
[Image of browser showing the router homepage – see “Tested
QIG 2011 07 14.pdf” provided for guideline]
You can also try visiting http://192.168.2.1/
The status of your Internet connection is shown in the
upper right corner of the router homepage. If after a few
moments it says “Connected,” you’re done! You can surf
the Internet.
[Image of browser showing “connected” homepage – see “Tested QIG 2011 07
14.pdf” provided for guideline]
If not, select “Connection Type” from the menu on the left.
[Zoomed in image of the “Connection Type” option in the
homepage – see “Tested QIG 2011 07 14.pdf” provided for
guideline]

If a password screen appears, press “Submit.”
[Image of the login screen showing the submit button – see
“Tested QIG 2011 07 14.pdf” provided for guideline]
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.”
[Image of the connection type screen with dynamic
selected – see “Tested QIG 2011 07 14.pdf” provided for
guideline]
A service name is generally not required. Hit “Apply Changes.”
The Router will restart.
[Image of the service name page – see “Tested QIG 2011 07
14.pdf” provided for guideline]
If after a few minutes your Internet Status says “Connected,”
you’re done! You can surf the Internet.
[Image of browser showing “connected” homepage – see “Tested QIG 2011 07
14.pdf” provided for guideline]
If these steps do not work, try restarting your modem and
repeating the process.
If not, we’ll try a PPPoE connection next.
