Thank you for purchasing the Belkin ADSL Modem with Wireless G
Router (the Router). In minutes you will be able to share your Inter net
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, and XP, 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.

Introduction

3

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.

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.

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 wireless
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 might 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 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.

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.
