INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router (the Router). 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 Router an ideal
solution for your home or small office network.
Key Features
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 98, Me, 2000, and
XP. If you are using another operating system, the Router can be set up using the
Alternative Method described in this manual.
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.
Integrated Parental Control Web Content Filter
Belkin has teamed with Cerberian, a leading content-filtering company, to bring
you this unique feature. Your Router is the first home networking solution with
an integrated web content filter that allows you to block unwanted or offensive
web content before it makes it to your network. Unlike other Parental Control
solutions, Parental Control is built into the Belkin Router, so there is no software
to install on any computer and you will never be charged a per-computer fee for
the service, ever. Your Router comes with a six-month free trial of this feature so
you can take advantage of the capabilities right away. No credit card is needed
to use the trial. You have control: Belkin Parental Control can be modified to
meet your needs. You can set up your own policies and block any website you
want. There is also an optional reporting feature (fee-based) that allows you to
get a report showing you every website that was visited from your network.
INTRODUCTION
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, 98, 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 Connected 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 statusmonitoring procedures.
Vertical or Horizontal Desktop Application
Your Router can stand vertically on the desktop to save space, or lay down flat
on a shelf or under your modem. The included vertical mounting base lets you
decide how to position the Router.
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.
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.
INTRODUCTION
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) 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.
INTRODUCTION
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.

KNOWING YOUR ROUTER
The Router has been designed to be placed on a desktop vertically or
horizontally, or it may be mounted to a wall. The slim design minimizes the
desktop space required when placed vertically. All of the cables exit from the rear
of the Router for better organization and utility. The LED indicators are easily
visible on the front of the Router to provide you with information about network
activity and status.
1. Power/Ready LED
When you apply power to the Router or restart it, a short period of time elapses
while the Router boots up. During this time, the “Power/Ready” LED blinks.
When the Router has completely booted up, the Power/Ready LED becomes a
SOLID light, indicating the Router is ready for use.

PLACEMENT OF YOUR ROUTER
Proper placement of your Router is important to ensure the best performance of
your wireless network. Typically, indoors your Wireless Router can provide a
circular coverage area of 250 feet or more. However, different types of
construction materials and other obstructions in a building can greatly affect the
wireless signal and decrease the range. Whenever possible, your Router should be
placed as close as possible to the center of the area that you want to cover. In
multi-story homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close to the center of
the home as possible; this may mean placing the Router on an upper floor.
Use care when choosing the location of your Router
• Be aware of appliances or large objects such as a refrigerator or washer/dryer
unit that may be on the opposite side of a wall from where you decide to
place your Router.
• Place the Router on top of a desk and away from metal cabinets and
computer cases.
• Do not place objects or components on top of the Router.
• Make sure that both antennas are pointing UP at all times.
• Metallic-based UV window tint can affect wireless performance. Do not place
the Router next to a tinted window.
We realize that in the real world, it may not be possible to place your Router in
the center of your coverage area. In cases where you may experience difficulty
covering the entire area you want, try placing the Router as high as possible.
Wireless devices work best in a line-of-sight situation where there are no
obstacles between the wireless computer and the Router. The Router may also
be mounted to a wall with the antennas facing UP. There are other options for
expanding your wireless coverage area. Visit www.networking.belkin.com
for solutions.
The wireless signal can be affected by many things including neighboring
wireless networks, microwave ovens in operation, and 2.4GHz cordless phones.
While these things can affect the network performance, your wireless network
typically will work fine under most conditions where these devices exist.

ALTERNATE SETUP METHOD
Configuring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) Address
All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have a unique
“serial number” called a MAC address. Your ISP may record the MAC address of
your computer’s adapter and only let that particular computer connect to the
Internet service. When you install the Router, its own MAC address will be “seen”
by the ISP and may cause the connection not to work. Belkin has provided the
ability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the Router. This
MAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s system as the original MAC
address and will allow the connection to work. If you are not sure whether your
ISP needs to see the original MAC address, simply clone the MAC address of the
computer that was originally connected to the modem. Cloning the address will
not cause any problems with your network.
38
ALTERNATE SETUP METHOD
Cloning your MAC Address
To clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer that was

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 advanced 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)
10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
2. Subnet Mask
There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique, advanced feature
of your Belkin Router. It is possible to change the subnet mask if necessary,
however, do NOT make changes to the subnet mask unless you have a specific
reason to do so. The default setting is “255.255.255.0”.
41
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
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 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 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be
lower in number than the ending IP address.
5. Lease Time
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”.

Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
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, encryption security settings, and configure the Router to be used as an
access point.
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.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Using the Wireless Mode Switch
Your Router can operate in three different wireless modes: “54g-Auto”,
“54g-Only”, and “54g-LRS”. The different modes are explained below.
54g-Auto Mode
In this mode, the Router is compatible with 802.11b and 54g 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 54g clients
in your network, we recommend setting the Router to 54g-Auto mode. This
setting should only be changed if you have a specific reason to do so.
54g-Only Mode
54g-Only mode works with 54g 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”.
54g-LRS 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 54g
and 802.11b standards.
When to use 54g-LRS Mode
In some cases, older 802.11b clients may not be compatible with 54g wireless.
These adapters tend to be of inferior design and may use older drivers or
technology. 54g-LRS (Limited Rate Support) allows these clients to be
compatible with the newer 54g technology. Switching to this mode can solve
problems that sometimes occur with these clients. If you suspect that you are
using a client adapter that falls into this category of adapters, first check with
the adapter vendor to see if there is a driver update. If there is no driver update
available, switching to 54g-LRS mode may fix your problem. Please note that
switching to 54g-LRS mode may decrease 54g performance slightly.
45
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Turbo Mode
Turbo mode is enabled by default. It allows the Router or Access Point to use
frame bursting to deliver the maximum throughput, 2 times faster than any
standard 802.11g equipment, to 802.11g clients. This measurement is based on
aggregate throughput in a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g environment. Belkin
802.11g clients with the latest driver will support Turbo mode. Clients that do
not support Turbo mode will operate normally with it enabled. To switch Turbo
mode off, select “OFF”(1) from the drop-down menu and click “Apply Changes”.

Regulatory Approvals
Channel
The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.
•Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to
choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA
and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent
Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
• In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an
Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest
signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.)
• If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the
same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there
is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.
CAUTION:
1) To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation
distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this
device and all persons.
2) This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Using the Broadcast SSID Feature
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.
For security, 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, remove the
check mark from the box next to “Broadcast SSID”, 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.
Protected Mode Switch
As part of the 802.11g specification, Protected mode ensures proper operation of
802.11g clients and access points when there is heavy 802.11b traffic in the
operating environment. When protected mode is ON, 802.11g scans for other
wireless network traffic before it transmits data. Therefore, using this mode in
environments with HEAVY 802.11b traffic or interference achieves best
performance results. If you are in an environment with very little—or no—other
wireless network traffic, your best performance will be achieved with Protected
mode OFF.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Router is equipped with WPA (Wireless Protected Access), the latest security
standard . It also supports the legacy security standard, WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled. To enable security, you must
first determine which standard you want to use. To access the security settings,
click “Security” on the Wireless tab.
Setting WPA Security
Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers and
software that support it. At the time of this manual’s publication, a security patch
download is available, for free, from Microsoft. This patch works only with the
Windows XP operating system. You also need to download the latest driver for your
Belkin 54g Wireless PCI or CardBus card from the Belkin support site. Other
operating systems are not supported at this time. Microsoft’s patch only supports
devices with WPA-enabled drivers such as Belkin 54g products.
There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with server).
WPA-PSK uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared key is a
password that is between eight and 40 characters long. It can be a combination
of letters, numbers, and other characters. Each client uses the same key to access
the network. Typically, this mode will be used in a home environment.
WPA (with server) is a configuration wherein a radius server distributes the keys
to the clients automatically. This is typically used in a business environment.
Setting WPA-PSK (no server)
1. From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK (no server)”.
2. For Encryption Technique, select “TKIP” or “AES”. This setting will have to be
identical on the clients that you set up.
3. Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 40 characters and can be
letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used on all of the clients
that you set up. For example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith
family network key”.

Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. 64-bit
keys are five two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 two-digit numbers.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between A–F
and 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Router
and your wireless computers.
Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit encryption only.
Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Please check

F5D7130 54g Wireless Network Access Point
The following firmware version must be installed on the Access Point and the
Router for proper operation:
F5D7230-4: Version 1.01.08 or higher
F5D7130: Version 1.01.08 or higher
What is a Wireless Bridge?
A wireless bridge is actually a “mode” in which your Wireless Router can directly
connect to a secondary Wireless Access Point. Note that you can only bridge your
54g Wireless Router (Model F5D7230-4) to a Belkin 54g Wireless Access Point
(model F5D7130). Bridging with Access Points of other manufacturers is not
supported at this time. You can use the bridge mode to extend the range of your
wireless network, or add an extension of your network in another area of your
office or home without running cables.
Range Extension
Range extension will extend the wireless coverage area in your home or office.
The example on the next page illustrates use of bridging to extend the range of
your wireless network. In this example, the Router is set up to connect to an
Access Point located in another area. Laptops can roam, or move between the
two wireless coverage areas.

Setting Up a Bridge Between your Wireless Router and a Secondary
Access Point
Bridging your Belkin Router to a secondary Access Point requires that you access
the Router’s Advanced Setup Utility and enter the MAC address of the Access
Point in the appropriate area. There are also a few other requirements. PLEASE
BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW, CAREFULLY.
1. Set your Access Point to the same channel as the Router. By default, the
Router and Access Point channels are set to channel 11 at the factory. If you
have never changed the channel, you don’t need to do anything.
2. Find the Access Point’s MAC address on the bottom label of the Access Point.
There are two MAC addresses on the bottom label. You will need the MAC
address named “WLAN MAC Address”. The MAC address starts with 0030BD and
is followed by six other numbers or letters (i.e. 0030BD-XXXXXX). Write the
MAC address below. Go to the next step.
3. Place your secondary Access Point within range of your Wireless Router and
near the area where you want to extend the range or add the network
segment. Typically, indoor range should be between 50 and 150 feet.
4. Connect power to your Access Point. Make sure the Access Point is on and
proceed to the next step.
5. From a computer already connected to your Router, access the Advanced
Setup Utility by opening your browser. In the address bar, type in
“192.168.2.1”. Do not type in “www” or “http://” before the number.

Configuring the 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
Fragment flooding
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack
networks. These ports appear to be “Stealth” meaning that for all intents and
purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn the firewall
function off if needed, however, it is recommended that you leave the firewall
enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will not leave your network
completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you leave
the firewall enabled.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Configuring Internal Forwarding Settings
The Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet) calls for
services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other
applications through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal
computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside your network (over the
Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot be “seen”. A list of common
applications has been provided in case you need to configure the Virtual Server
function for a specific application. If your application is not listed, you will need
to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need.
Choosing an Application
Select your application from the drop-down list. Click “Add”. The settings will be
transferred to the next available space in the screen. Click “Apply Changes” to
save the setting for that application. To remove an application, select the
number of the row that you want to remove then click “Clear”.
Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for the
internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a comma between
multiple ports), select the port type (TCP or UDP), and click “Apply Changes”.
You can only pass one port per internal IP address. Opening ports in your
firewall can pose a security risk. You can enable and disable settings very
quickly. It is recommended that you disable the settings when you are not using
a specific application.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Setting Client IP Filters
The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, e-mail, or other
network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single
computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.
To restrict Internet access to a single computer for example, enter the IP address
of the computer you wish to restrict access to in the IP fields (1). Next, enter
“88” in both the port fields (2). Select “Both”(3). Select “Block” (4). You can
also select “Always” to block access all of the time. Select the day to start on
top (5), the time to start on top (6), the day to end on the bottom (7), and
the time to stop (8) on the bottom. Select “Enable” (9). Click “Apply Changes”.
The computer at the IP address you specified will now be blocked from Internet
access at the times you specified. Note: Be sure you have selected the correct
time zone under “Utilities> System Settings> Time Zone”.

Setting MAC Address Filtering
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify
which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to
access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access.
When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client
(computer) on your network to allow network access to each. The “Block”
feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any computer
without having to add and remove the computer’s MAC address from the list.

To enable this feature, select “Enable MAC Address Filtering” (1). Next, enter the
MAC address of each computer on your network by clicking in the space provided
(2) and entering the MAC address of the computer you want to add to the list.
Click “Add” (3), then “Apply Changes” to save the settings. To delete a MAC
address from the list, simply click “Delete” next to the MAC address you wish to
delete. Click “Apply Changes” to save the settings.
Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are
using to access the Router's administrative functions (the computer you are
using now).

Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be
placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causing
problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application.
Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected
from hacker attacks.
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the IP
field and select “Enable”. Click “Apply Changes” for the change to take effect. If
you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to select which
WAN IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the WAN IP address you
wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the
DMZ host computer, select “Enable” and click “Apply Changes”.

Blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential victims on
the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response from the
IP address, a hacker can determine that something of interest might be there.
The Router can be set up so it will not respond to an ICMP ping from the
outside. This heightens the level of security of your Router.

Changing System Settings
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator
password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and off
the NAT function of the Router.
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for
greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and
keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router in
the future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use
the remote management feature of your Router.
Changing the Login Timeout Setting
The login timeout option allows you to set the period of time that you can be
logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there
has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced
setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”.
Assuming the timeout is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the
login session will expire. You will have to login to the Router again to make any
more changes. The login timeout option is for security purposes and the default
is set to 10 minutes. Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s
advanced setup interface at one time.
75
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global
Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log
and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you reside
in an area that observes Daylight Saving, then place a check mark in the box
next to “Enable Daylight Saving”. The system clock may not update immediately.
Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the
Internet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself.
Enabling Remote Management
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to
make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet. There are
two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to the
Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotely
manage the Router”. By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the
Internet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in
the password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP address
only to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To
use this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router
from in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely manage
the Router”. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that
you set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially
open your Router to intrusion.
76
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.
Before enabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR
PASSWORD. Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the
Router shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the other
computers on your network. This function should only be used if your ISP
assigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advanced
system configuration. If you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, the
computers on your network will not be able to access the Internet. Other
problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will disable your firewall functions.
Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your
Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice
messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnPcompliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a
specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP
ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnPcompliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the
Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the
UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnPcompliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the
UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the
“Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.
77
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to automatically
check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new firmware is
available. When you log into the Router’s advanced interface, the Router will
perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If so, you will be notified.
You can choose to download the new version or ignore it. The Router ships with
this feature enabled. If you want to disable it, select “Disable” and click
