Problem:
Installation CD does not automatically start.
Solution:
If the CD-ROM does not start the Easy Install Wizard automatically,
it could be that the computer is running other applications that are
interfering with the CD drive.
1.
If the Easy Install Wizard screen does not appear within 15—20
seconds, open up your CD-ROM drive by double-clicking on the
“My Computer” icon that is located on your desktop.
2.
Next, double-click on the CD-ROM drive that the Easy Install
Wizard Software CD has been placed in to start the installation.
3.
The Easy Install Wizard should start within a few seconds. If,
instead, a window appears showing the files on the CD,
double-click on the icon labeled “EasyInstall.exe”.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Problem:
The Easy Install Wizard cannot find my Router.
Solution:
If the Easy Install Wizard is not able to find the Router during the
installation process, please check the following items:
1.
Check to see if the switch on the back of the Router has been
set to “Router Mode.”
2.
Unplug power to the Router for 10 seconds, and then plug the
power back into the Router. Ensure that the Router’s “Power”
light is on; it should be solid green. If not, check to make sure
that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the Router and
plugged into a wall outlet.
3.
Check to see if the switch on the back of the Router has been
set to “Router Mode”.
Problem:
The Easy Install Wizard cannot connect my Router to the Internet.
Solution:
If the Easy Install Wizard is not able to connect the Router to the
Internet, please check the following items:
1.
Ensure that you have a cable (use the cable included with the
Router) connected between (1) the Ethernet port on the back of the
Router to the (2) Ethernet port of your modem or service provider.
2.
If your ISP requires a user name and password, make sure that
you have typed in your user name and password correctly. Some
user names require that the ISP’s domain be at the end of the name.
Example: “myname@myisp.com”. The “@myisp.com” part of the
user name may need to be typed as well as your user name.
Problem:
The Easy Install Wizard completed installation and the Router’s
“Ethernet” light is lit “On” but my web browser doesn’t work.
Solution:
1.
Make sure the network cable between the modem and the Router is
connected. We strongly recommend using the cable that was supplied
with your cable or DSL modem for this purpose. The cable should be
connected at one end to the Router’s “Ethernet” port, and at the other
end to the network port on your modem or service provider.

2.
Unplug the cable or DSL modem from its power source for three
minutes. After three minutes, plug the modem back into its
power source. This may force the modem to properly recognize
the Router.
3.
Unplug the power to your Router, wait 10 seconds, and then
reconnect the power. This will cause the Router to reattempt
communication with the modem.
If the “Ethernet” light on the Router is not lit after completing
these steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
4.
Try shutting down and restarting your computer.
5.
If you have a “static IP address” connection, your ISP must
assign you the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
6.
If you have a “PPPoE” connection, your ISP will assign you a
user name and password and sometimes a service name. Make
sure the Router connection type is configured to “PPPoE” and the
settings are entered properly.
7.
You may need to configure your Router to meet the specific
requirements of your ISP. To search our Knowledge Base for
ISP-specific issues, go to: http://web.belkin.com/support and
type in “ISP”.
If you are still unable to access the Internet after verifying these
settings, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.
Solution:
If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless
computer, please do the following:
1.
Look at the lights on your Router. Your Belkin Router’s lights
should be as follows:
• The “Power” light should be on.
• The “Connected” light should be on and not blinking.
• The “WAN” light should be either on or blinking.

2.
Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in the
system tray at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen. If you
are also using a Belkin Wireless Card or Adapter with this
Router,
the tray icon should look like this (the icon may be red or green):
3.
The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model
of wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should
have a list of “Available Networks”—those wireless networks it
can connect to.
Does the name of your wireless network appear in the results?
Yes, my network name is listed
—
go to the troubleshooting
solution titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my
network name is listed”.
No, my network name is not listed—
go to the troubleshooting
solution titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my
network name is not listed”.
Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my network name
is listed.
Solution:
If the name of your network is listed in the “Available Networks” list,
please follow the steps below to connect wirelessly:
1.
Click on the correct network name in the “Available Networks” list.
2.
If the network has security (encryption) enabled, you will need to
enter the network key. For more information regarding security,
see the section entitled “Securing your Wi-Fi Network” in this
User Manual.
3.
Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower, left-hand
corner of your screen should turn green, indicating a successful
connection to the network.

Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my network name is
not listed.
Solution:
If the correct network name is not listed under “Available Networks”
in the wireless configuration utility, please attempt the following
troubleshooting steps:
1.
Temporarily move your computer, if possible, five to 10 feet
away from the Router. Close the wireless configuration utility,
and reopen it. If the correct network name now appears under
“Available Networks”, you may have a range or interference
problem. Please see the suggestions discussed in the section
titled “Placement of your Router for Optimal Performance” in this
User Manual.
2.
Using a computer that is connected to the Router through a
network cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast
SSID” is enabled. This setting is found on the Router’s wireless
“Channel and SSID” configuration page.
If you are still unable to access the Internet after completing these
steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
Problem:
My wireless network performance is inconsistent.
Data transfer is sometimes slow.
Signal strength is poor.
I am having difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual
Private Network (VPN) connection.
Solution:
Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and
the throughput performance between devices decreases when
the distance between devices increases. Other factors that will
cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are
obstructions such as walls and metal appliances. As a result, the
typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100
to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you
move farther away from the Router or access point.
78
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we
suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to 10 feet
away from the Router.
Changing the Wireless Channel
—
Depending on local wireless
traffic and interference, switching the wireless channel of your
network can improve performance and reliability. The default
channel the Router is shipped with is channel 11.
Limiting the Wireless Transmit Rate
—
Limiting the wireless
transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and
connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit
the transmission rate. To change this property, go to the Windows
Control Panel, open “Network Connections” and double-click on
your wireless card’s connection. In the “Properties” dialog, select
the “Configure” button on the “General” tab (Windows 98 users
will have to select the wireless card in the list box and then click
“Properties”), then choose the “Advanced” tab and select the rate
property. Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically
adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause
periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule,
slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different
connection rates until you find the best one for your environment;
note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for
browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless card’s
user manual.
