Introduction
Creating a home network is easy and very practical if you have more
than one computer. Networking lets you share resources, such as
printers and hard drives that, in the past, could be used ONLY by the
computer directly connected to them.
Belkin home networking lets you easily enjoy these additional advantages:
•
Share one high-speed Internet connection among all the
computers in your home
•
Share documents, music, video, and digital pictures
•
Store, retrieve, and copy files from one computer to another
•
Simultaneously play games online, check Internet email,
and chat
•
Share a single scanner or printer among the entire family
Advantages of a Wired Network
•
Low cost – on average, wired networking devices are less
expensive than wireless networking devices
•
Faster speeds – common speed is 100Mbps with recent
technology providing up to 1000Mbps
•
Better range – wired Ethernet technology provides distance of
up to 328 ft. (without a repeater), while wireless range is typically
150 to 200 ft.
•
Existing wired infrastructure – because of the maturity of wired
technology, some new homes are built with an Ethernet
cabling infrastructure
•
Widespread industry acceptance – a wide range of
interoperable networking products availble

Benefits of a Home Network
Overview
Product Features
In minutes you will be able to share your Internet connection and
network your computers. The following is a list of features that make
your new Wired Router an ideal solution for your home or small
office network.
Easy Install Wizard
The Easy Install Wizard takes the guesswork out of setting up your
Router. This automatic software determines your network settings for
you and sets up the Router for connection to your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). In a matter of minutes, your Router will be up and
running on the Internet.
Note: Easy Install Wizard software is compatible with Windows 98SE,
Me, 2000, and XP. If you are using another operating system, the
Router can be set up using the Alternate Setup Method described in
this manual.
Works 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. All that is needed is 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.
Overview
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type
found with cable modems. Setting the connection type to dynamic in
many cases is enough to complete the connection to your ISP. Some
dynamic connection types may require a host name. You can enter
your host name in the space provided if you were assigned one. Your
host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic connections may
require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was originally
connected to the modem.

information is available from your ISP or on the paperwork that your
ISP left with you. Type in your information then click “Apply Changes”

Setting your ISP Connection Type to (PPPoE)
Most DSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use a
DSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to
log you into the service. If you have an Internet connection in your
home or small office that doesn’t require a modem, you may also
use PPPoE.
Your connection type is PPPoE if:
1) Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is
required to connect to the Internet;
2) Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET, Enternet300
that you use to connect to the Internet; or,
3) You must double-click on a desktop icon other than your
browser to get on the Internet.
To set the Router to use PPPoE, type in your user name and password
in the spaces provided. If you do not have a service name or do not
know it, leave the “Service Name” field blank. After you have typed
in your information, click “Apply Changes” (6). After you apply the
changes, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “connection OK” if
your Router is set up properly.

A service name is rarely required by an ISP. If you are not sure if your
ISP requires a service name, leave this blank.
The MTU setting should never be changed unless your ISP gives
you a specific MTU setting. Making changes to the MTU setting can
cause problems with your Internet connection including disconnection
from the Internet, slow Internet access, and problems with Internet
applications working properly.
(5) Disconnect after X….
The disconnect feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router
from your ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time.
For instance, placing a check mark next to this option and entering
“5” into the minute field will cause the Router to disconnect from the
Internet after five minutes of no Internet activity. This option should
be used if you pay for your Internet service by the minute.
