Ethernet cable (attached to router)

Power supply (attached to router)

Network information card (attached to router)

Belkin Setup CD with User Manual

Initial Setup

Where to Place Your Router

For the best results, place the Router next to your modem in an
open location away from large metal objects and magnets such as
those found in speakers. Raising the Router above floor level can
improve the strength of your wireless signal.

How to Set It Up

[R N150 N300 N450 setup.ai]

1) Connect your Router’s Ethernet cable to your modem’s
Ethernet port (on the back of your modem). This port might
be labeled differently on your particular modem. If you are
adding a Router for the first time, this port may be connected
to your computer by an Ethernet cable. It is OK to disconnect
your computer and plug the Router into the modem instead.

2) Plug the Router’s power supply into a wall outlet.

3) Put the CD into your computer. If the CD doesn’t open
automatically, please browse to your CD drive and double­click on the Belkin Setup CD icon.

4) Click the Setup icon on the CD menu.

5) After a brief installation, the setup software will ask you for
the network name and password from the network
information card that is attached to your Router. Store the
card under the base of your Router for future reference.

[SCREENSHOT OF SUCCESS setup success.png]

6) 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.

Advanced Tools & Settings

[SCREENSHOT OF ADVANCED MENU setup advanced2.png]

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 Service Provider & Login Settings

Have you moved or changed Internet Service Providers? If you’d like to
change these settings without running through the setup process again,
this is the place.

The Belkin Router Manager

[SHARE SCREENSHOT OF TRAY APP MENU (TBD)]

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 settings, 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.

Blue: You are connected to your Belkin Router and it is connected to the Internet.

Amber: You are connected to your Belkin Router, but it is not connected to the
Internet.

Manual Setup Using Your Browser

[ZOOMED SCREENSHOT OF ADDRESS BAR address bar.png]

In your browser, type “http://router” (you do not need to type in anything else
such as “www”). Then press the Enter key. If you’re still having trouble running
the manual setup option, type “192.168.2.1” in your browser (you do not need
to type in anything else such as “http://” or “www”). Then press the Enter key.

Adding Computers to Your Network

Wireless devices such as computers, network printers, and gaming systems can
connect to your Router with a few simple steps.

Using the CD

1) Put the Setup CD into your computer. If the CD doesn’t open
automatically, browse to your CD drive and open the Belkin
Setup CD icon.

2) Click the Setup icon on the CD menu.

3) After a brief installation, the setup software will ask you for
the network name and password from the network
information card that came with your Router. This card is
most likely now located underneath the foot of your Router
in the provided card slot.

4) 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.

Note: The setup software runs only on Windows and Mac OS X
systems.

Manually

If you choose not to use the included Setup CD for adding
additional computers or wireless devices, you can manually add
these items to your network.

1) Locate the wireless-network-connections option on your
computer or wireless device.

User's manual_送件用 .doc

2) Select your Belkin Router from the list of available networks.
You can identify your Belkin Router by locating the network
name (SSID) from the card located underneath the foot of
your Router.

3) Enter your network password (located on your network
information card).

Your wireless device will take a few moments to connect to
your network. If the connection is not made the first time, try
this process again. If you still have difficulty connecting to
your network after trying this process a few times, see the
“Troubleshooting” section in this manual for help with
connecting to your network.

Note: In some cases you may be prompted to select the
security type. It is printed on the card for your convenience.

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
and hold for two seconds.

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.

Additional Capabilities

Guest Access

User's manual_送件用 .doc

You can allow guests to use your Internet connection without
joining your personal network. The network name and password
for the guest network is located on the network information card
found under the foot of your Router.

A person using your guest network will be able to join without a
password, but will be shown a login page when they attempt to surf
the Web. They will need to enter the guest password into this page
to continue.
