Connecting your Router
Positioning your Router
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your Router. Typical indoor operating range for your wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the same way, your w ireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances, or obstructions, and walls. Please see “Appendix B: Important Factors for Placement and Setup” in this User Manual for more guidelines. If you have concerns about your network’s performance that m i ght be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to
a position between five and 10 feet from the Router, in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close range, please see the Troubleshooting section for solutions.
Connecting your Computers
1. Power off your computers and networking equipment.
2. Connect your computer to one of the YELLOW RJ45 ports on the
rear of the Router labeled “connections to your computers” by using an Ethernet networking cable (one Ethernet network cable is supplied).
[insert 9630-4 rear illustration. Can use the same image from F5D7633-4]
Connecting your ADSL Line
Connection for the Router to the ADSL line varies by country and region. Typically it involves a microfilter or a microfilter with built-in splitter to allow simultaneous use of ADSL service and telephone service on the same telephone line. Please read the following steps carefully and select appropriate method.
1. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same
telephone line, ADSL microfilters are needed for each telephone and device, such as answering machine, fax machine, and caller ID display. Additional splitters may be used to separate telephone lines for telephone and the Router. Note: Do not connect the ADSL microfilter between the wall jack and the Router—this will prevent ADSL service from reaching the modem.
2. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same
telephone line and you are using an ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter, connect the splitter to the telephone wall jack providing ADSL service. Then, connect the telephone cord from the ADSL microfilter RJ11 port generally labeled “DSL” to the gray RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router. Connect telephony device to the other port on the ADSL splitter commonly labeled “Phone”. An additional ADSL microfilter is needed for another telephone and device on the same line.
[insert 9630-4 rear illustration. Can use the same image from F5D7633-4]
Note: One RJ11 telephone cord is supplied. When inserting an RJ11 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
3. If you have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11
wall jack, simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to the gray RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router.
4. If you have an RJ45 wall jack for your ADSL service, connect an
RJ45-to-RJ11 converter to the wall jack. Then connect one end of a telephone cord to the converter and the other end to the gray RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router.
Note: ADSL microfilter may or may not be provided depending on your country.
Powering Up your Router
1. Connect the supplied power adapter to the Router power-input
plug labeled “Power”. Note: For safety and performance reasons, only use the supplied power adapter to prevent damage to the Router.
[insert 9630-4 rear illustration. Can use the same image from F5D7633-4]
2. After connecting the power adapter and the power source is turned on,
the Router’s power icon on the front panel should be on. It might take a few minutes for the Router to fully start up.
[insert 9630-4 front illustration. Can use the same image from F5D7633-4. If the product name is clearly visible, correct it to ADSL2+ Modem with Wireless G Plus MIMO Router]
3. Turn on your computers. After your computers boot up, the LAN
status LED on the front of the Router will be on for each port to which a wired computer is connected. These lights show you the connection and activity status. Now you are ready to configure the Router for ADSL connection.
In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you will need to change your computer’s “TCP/IP Ethernet” settings to “Obtain an IP address automatically/Using DHCP”. This is normally the default setting in most home computers. You can set up the computer that is connected to the ADSL modem FIRST using these steps. You can also use these steps to add computers to your Router after the Router has been set up to connect to the Internet.

1. IP Address
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The default IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply
Changes”. The IP address you choose should be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:
192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
2. Subnet Mask
There is no need to change the subnet mask as the router will automatically adjust the length based on the IP address type.
3. 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”.
4. IP Pool
The IP Pool is the range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). 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 DHCP server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This means that you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in number than the ending IP address.
5. Lease Time
Lease time is 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.
6. Local Domain Name
The default setting is “Belkin”. 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 (known as clients), which are connected to your network. You are able to view the IP address the computer, the host name one), and the MAC address Card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” there have been any changes, the list will be updated.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is the standard
method of connecting networked devices. It requires a user name and password to access the network of your ISP for connecting to the Internet. PPPoA (PPP over ATM) is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly implemented in the UK. Select PPPoE or PPPoA and click “Next”. Then enter the information provided by your ISP, and click “Apply Changes” to activate your settings.
