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

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 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).
11
Connecting your Router
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 walljack 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.
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.

Manually Configuring your Router
Changing LAN Settings
All settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed and
changed here.
LAN Settings
Clicking on the header of the LAN tab (A) will take you to the
LAN tab’s header page. A quick description of the functions can
be found here. To view the settings or make changes to any of
the LAN settings, click on “LAN Settings” (B) or to view the list
of connected computers, click on “DHCP Client List” (C).
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)

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 100client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in number than the ending
IP address.
21
Manually Configuring your Router
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 (1) of the computer, the host
name (2) (if the computer has been assigned one), and the MAC address (3) of
the computer’s Network Interface Card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” (4) button
will update the list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated.

indicator will read “Connected” if your Router is set up properly.
Connection Type
From the “Connection Type” page, you can select one of these five
connection types based on the instruction provided by your ISP:
PPPoE
PPPoA
Dynamic IP (1483 Bridged)
Static IP (IPoA)
Modem Only (Disable Internet Sharing)
Note: See Appendix C in this User Manual for some common DSL
Internet setting parameters. If you are not sure, please contact your ISP.

Manually Configuring your Router
Select the type of connection you use by clicking the radio button
(1) next to your connection type and then clicking “Next”.
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.

DNS (Domain Name Server) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that translates
Universal Resource Links (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to IP addresses.
Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information into the Router. The
“Automatic from ISP” box (1) should be checked if your ISP did not give
you a specific DNS address. If you are using a static IP connection type,
then you may need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS
address for your connection to work properly. If your connection type is
dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.
27
Manually Configuring your Router
Leave the “Automatic from ISP” box checked. To enter the DNS address
settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter your DNS entries
in the spaces provided. Click “Apply Changes” (2) to save the settings.
Using DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
The DDNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host
name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers, allowing your network
computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the
Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five host names, free
to the Internet community. TZO.com is another alternative to DynDNS.org.
DDNS service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to make
it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at
work. Using the service can ensure that your host name always
points to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes
it. When your IP address changes, your friends and associates can
always locate you by visiting yourname.dyndns.org instead!

Setting up the Router’s Dynamic DNS Update Client
You must register with DynDNS.org’s free update service before using this
feature. Once you have your registration, follow the directions below.
1. Enter your DynDNS.org user name in the “Account / E-mail” field (1).
2. Enter your DynDNS.org password in the “Password / Key” field (2).
3. Enter the DynDNS.org domain name you set up with DynDNS.org in
the “Domain Name” field (3).
4. Click “Apply Changes” to update your IP address.
Whenever your IP address assigned by your ISP changes, the Router will
automatically update DynDNS.org’s servers with your new IP address. You
can also do this manually by clicking the “Apply Changes” button (4).
Wireless
The “Wireless” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network
settings. From this tab, you can make changes to the wireless network
name (SSID), operating channel, and encryption security settings.

1. Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set
Identifier) is used. The default SSID of the Router is “belkin54g”. You
can change this to anything you want to or you can leave it unchanged.
If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, you will want
to make sure that your SSID is unique (does not match that of another
wireless network in the area). To change the SSID, type in the SSID
that you want to use in the SSID field (1) and click “Apply Changes”
(2). The change is immediate. If you make a change to the SSID, your
wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to
connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation of your
wireless network adapter for information on making this change.
2. Using the ESSID Broadcast Feature
For security purposes, 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, select “DISABLE” and 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.
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.

3. Using the Wireless Mode Switch
Your Router can operate in three different wireless
modes: “Mixed (11b+11g)”, “11g Only”, and “11b Only”.
The different modes are explained below.
“Mixed (11b+11g)” Mode —In this mode, the Router is compatible
with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients simultaneously. This
is the factory default mode and ensures successful operation
with all Wi-Fi-compatible devices. If you have a mix of 802.11b
and 802.11g clients in your network, we recommend leave the
setting as defaultThis setting should only be changed if you have
a specific reason to do so.
”11g –Only” Mode—802.11g-Only mode works with 802.11g clients
only. This mode is recommended only if you want to prevent
802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switch modes,
select the desired mode from the “Wireless Mode” drop-down
box. Then, click “Apply Changes”.
”11b Only” Mode—We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless
you have a very specific reason to do so. This mode exists only
to solve unique problems that may occur with some 802.11b
client adapters and is NOT necessary for interoperability of
802.11g and 802.11b standards.
4. Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the
United States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of
Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there
are other channel requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the
proper channels for the country you reside in. The default is “Auto”.
The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks
operating in your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel
that is different than the other wireless networks. For best performance,
use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other wireless
network. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then
set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the
channel from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change is
immediate.
