GETTING STARTED

Run the Installer Software

Insert the included CD into your computer. Find the setup program and open it. It should run automatically; if not, find the setup program and open it. Follow the prompts.

The setup software will configure your Internet connection and let you know when things are working.

If you have DSL, you may need a username and password from your Internet provider.

Setup

GETTING STARTED

1. Click the Setup icon on the CD menu.

GETTING STARTED

2. After a brief installation, the setup software will ask you for the network

name and password from the network information card that is stored in the foot of your new Belkin router. Store the card under the base of your Router for future reference.

GETTING STARTED

3. A progress screen will appear while additional software is

installed. This may take a few minutes to complete. Once finished, a “Success” message will appear indicating that you are connected to the Internet via your new Belkin Router.

During setup you may be asked for additional information.

You may need to enter a username and password provided by your ISP. This username and password is likely to be found on materials that came from your ISP when you signed up for service. If necessary, you may need to contact your ISP to retrieve your username and password.

If you have a static IP address, you may need to enter additional information also provided by your ISP.

If your computer doesn’t have a wireless adapter, or the setup software is unable to control it, you may be asked to connect your computer to the Router with a network cable.

GETTING STARTED

Advanced Tools & Settings

After the initial setup is complete, you have the option to change settings like your network name, security type, and password. To make these changes and others, click on the Advanced Tools icon at the CD Setup menu and select one of the following settings that you would like to change:

Network Name & Security – Personalize your network name (SSID), password, and strength of wireless security.

Internet Ser vice Provider & Login Settings – Have you moved or changed Internet Service Providers? If you’d like to change these set tings without running through the setup process again, this is the place.

GETTING STARTED

The Belkin Router Manager

The Belkin Router Manager appears in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac). Its icon indicates the current status of your Router and also allows you to access your Router’s settings to make changes. It also provides quick access to software that came bundled with your Router.

To access the Router set tings, click on the icon and select from the menu that appears.

The status of your Router is shown by the Belkin Router Manager icon, which closely mimics the light on the front of the Router.

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.

GETTING STARTED

Using the WPS Button

1. Start WPS Push Button Connection (WPS PBC) on your

computer or other Wi-Fi device that you would like to connect wirelessly to your Router. Often there will be a button for this purpose in software that came with the device, or a physical “WPS,” “PBC,” or “Security” button on the device itself.

2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your Router.

The WPS light (small light above WPS button) will blink blue while it listens for your Wi-Fi device. Once a connection is established, the light will turn blue and then go out. If a connection is not established, the light will blink amber. You may repeat the process to try again.

You can repeat this process for each WPS-enabled device you’d like to add to your network.
