Step 3 Checking the Connection
3.1 Once you have completed
connecting the Router, the Wizard
will check the connection to the
Router and then go on to determine
what type of Internet connection
you have.
3.2 User Name and Password Needed
If you have a connection type that
requires a user name and a password,
the Wizard will ask you to type in
your user name and password. If your
connection type does not require a
user name and password, you will not
see this screen.
Your user name and password is
provided to you by your Internet
Service Provider. If you have to type
in a user name and password to
connect to the Internet, then type that
same user name and password in
here. Your user name looks something
like “jsmith@myisp.com” or simply
“jsmith”. The service name is optional
and is very rarely required by your ISP.
If you don’t know your service name,
leave this blank. When you have
entered your information, click “Next”
to move on.

3.3 Wireless Setup
This Step Is Optional. Click “Next” if
you want to skip it.
Using this step, you can customize
your wireless network settings if
you want to. Follow the steps on
the screen to complete this step.
Click “Next” to continue.
Step 4 Configuring the Router
The Wizard will now transfer all of the configuration information to the
Router. This will take approximately one minute. During this time, do
not turn off the Router or computer. The Router will restart itself at the
end of this step.
4.1 Checking Internet
The Wizard will now check for an
Internet connection. This can take
a few minutes. The Wizard may not
detect a connection right away. If
not, it will retry a number of times.
The “Connected” light on the front
panel of the Router will flash during
this time. Please be patient through
this process.

4.2 Finished
When the Internet connection
is complete, the Wizard will tell
you that you are finished. The
“Connected” LED on the front of
the Router will be solid GREEN,
indicating that the Router is now
connected to the Internet.
Your Router is now connected to the Internet. Now you can begin
surfing the Internet by opening your browser and going to your favorite
web page.
Congratulations! You have finished installing your new Belkin Router.
You are ready to set up the other computers in your home. You can
also add computers to your Router any time you want.

Connecting your printer to the Router’s print server
Please closely follow the directions to set up your printer.
Before you start
Install the printer’s drivers and software on each computer from which you
plan to print. This enables the PC to print to the networked printer (printer
that is attached to your USB Print Server). Every manufacturer ships its
printer with a driver and, usually, printing software. In some cases, while
installing the drivers and software for your printer, you may be required to
connect the PC directly to the printer in order to complete the installation.
This varies according to manufacturer. You must also install the Belkin Printer
Port on each of the computers you want to print from. This may be done
using the Printer Server Setup Wizard, or can be done manually.
Start
1. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. Within 15 seconds, you
should see the installation menu on the screen. If the menu
does not appear within 15 seconds, select your CD-ROM drive
and view the contents of the drive. Double-click on the file
named “Start.exe”.
2. From the menu, click on “Run Print Server Setup Wizard”. This
will open the Print Server Setup Wizard menu.

Manually installing the print server port

“instportA.exe” from the CD or by using the Wizard.

driver to point to the Router’s Print Server as follows:

connected to the Print Server and select the “Port” tab,
select the Belkin port, and click “Configure Port...”
