Using the Accept “ANY SSID Feature
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. A feature of wireless networking is the ability to scan for networks and connect to them easily. For instance, you can set up a wireless-equipped computer to connect to and an SSID called “ANY”. This forces the wireless network adapter in the computer to look for any network in the area and connect to it. For ease-of-use this is very convenient, but in some cases you may want users to have to specify the name of the network. You can program the Router to reject a wireless-equipped computer looking for an SSID of “ANY”. Remove the check mark in the box next to “Accept ANY SSID, then click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY will no longer be accepted. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change.
Using the Broadcast SSID Feature
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID. Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove the check mark from the box next to Broadcast SSID, then click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY will no longer be accepted. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change.
Changing the Wireless Encryption Settings
Clicking on the “Encryption link in the Wireless tab will take you to the Encryption settings screen. To make setting up your network for the first time easy, the Router ships with encryption turned off. If you wish to turn on encryption, you can do so from this page. Turning on encryption will require you to set each of your wireless-equipped computers with the same encryption settings that you make in the Router. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change.
There are two types of encryption to choose from: 64-bit and 128-bit encryption. Using encryption will make your network more secure, but will slow down the network performance. Although network performance will be reduced, it is likely the change will not be detectable to users of the network.

Setting Encryption Manually Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. 64-bit keys are five 2-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 2-digit numbers.
For instance: AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between A–F and 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Router and your wireless computers.
Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Please check your product to see which version you are using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption.
1. Select 64-bit
manually or 128-bit manually from the drop-down menu.
2. If using 64-bit
encryption, there will be four key fields. If using 128-bit encryption, there will be one key field. In the key field(s), type in the hexadecimal key(s) that you wish to use. When finished typing in your keys, select which key you want to use by clicking the radio button next to it. Click “Apply Changes”.
3. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on your
wireless network will now need to be configured with the same hexadecimal key. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change.

Using the Access Point Mode
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. The Router can be configured to work as a wireless network access point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature and DHCP server. In AP mode, the Router will need to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet as the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP address is
192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can be customized for your need.
1. Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable in the Use as Access Point only
page. When you select this option, you will be able to change the IP settings.
2. Set your IP settings to match your network. Click Apply Changes”.
3. Connect a cable from the WAN port on the Router to your existing network.
The Router is now acting as an Access Point. To access the Router advanced user interface again, type the IP address you specified into your browser’s navigation bar. You can set the encryption settings, MAC address filtering, SSID and channel normally.

Configuring the 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
Fragment flooding
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack networks. These ports appear to be Stealth” meaning that for all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn the firewall function off if needed, however, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.

Changing System Settings
The System Settings page is where you can enter a new administrator password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and off the NAT function of the Router.
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router in the future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature of your Router.
Changing the Login Timeout Setting
The login timeout option allows you to set the period of time that you can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking Logout”. Assuming the timeout is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire. You will have to login to the Router again to make any more changes. The login timeout option is for security purposes and the default is set to 10 minutes.
Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Routers advanced setup interface at one time.
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
66
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you reside in an area that observes Daylight Saving, then place a check mark in the box next to Enable Daylight Saving”. The system clock may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the Internet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself.
Enabling Remote Management Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to
make changes to your Routers settings from anywhere on the Internet. There are two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to the Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotely manage the Router”. By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in the password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router from in the space provided and select Only this IP address can remotely manage the Router”. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially open your Router to intrusion.

67
Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. Before enabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the Router shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the other computers on your network. This function should only be used if your ISP assigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advanced system configuration. If you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, the computers on your network will not be able to access the Internet. Other problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will not affect your firewall functions.
Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP­compliant. Some applications require the Routers firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP­compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP­compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable in the UPnP Enabling” section of the Utilities page. Click “Apply Changes to save the change.
