Typical indoor operating range for your wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances, or obstructions, and walls. Please see “Appendix B: Important Factors for Placement and Setup” in this User Manual for more guidelines.If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a position between five and 10 feet from the Router, in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close range, please see the Troubleshooting section for solutions.Connecting your Computers 1. Power off your computers and networking equipment. 2. Connect your computer to one of the YELLOW RJ45 ports on the rear of the Router labeled “connections to your computers” by using an Ethernet networking cable (one Ethernet network cable is supplied).

Typically it involves a microfilter or a microfilter with built-in splitter to allow simultaneous use of ADSL service and telephone service on the same telephone line. Please read the following steps carefully and select appropriate method. 1. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone line, ADSL microfilters are needed for each telephone and device, such as answering machine, fax machine, and caller ID display. Additional splitters may be used to separate telephone lines for telephone and the Router.Note: Do not connect the ADSL microfilter between the walljack and the router. This will prevent ADSL service from reaching the modem.2. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone line and you are using an ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter, connect the splitter to the telephone wall jack providing ADSL service. Then, connect the telephone cord from the ADSL microfilter RJ11 port generally labeled “DSL” to the gray RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router. Connect telephony device to the other port on the ADSL splitter commonly labeled “Phone”. An additional ADSL microfilter is needed for another telephone and device on the same line.Note: One RJ11 telephone cord is supplied. When inserting an RJ11 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

19Manually Configuring your Router19section21345678910Changing LAN SettingsAll settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed and changed here.LAN SettingsClicking on the header of the LAN tab (A) will take you to the LAN tab’s header page. A quick description of the functions can be found here. To view the settings or make changes to any of the LAN settings, click on “LAN Settings” (B) or to view the list of connected computers, click on “DHCP Client List” (C).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 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.
2120Manually Configuring your Router21203. 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 IP Pool is 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.
21Manually Configuring your Router21section213456789105. Lease Time Lease time is 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”.DHCP Client ListYou can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are connected to your network. You are able to view the IP address (1) of the computer, the host name (2) (if the computer has been assigned one), and the MAC address (3) of the computer’s Network Interface Card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” (4) button will update the list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated.Internet WANThe “Internet WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your Internet Service Provider. The Router is capable of connecting to virtually any ADSL Service Provider’s system provided you have correctly configured the Router’s settings for your ISP’s connection type. Your connection settings are provided to you by your ISP.
2322Manually Configuring your Router2322To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click “Connection Type” (1) on the left side of the screen. Select the connection type you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS” (2) allows you to enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings.When you have finished making settings, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “Connected” if your Router is set up properly.Connection TypeFrom the “Connection Type” page, you can select one of these five connection types based on the instruction provided by your ISP:PPPoEPPPoA Dynamic IP (1483 Bridged) Static IP (IPoA) Modem Only (Disable Internet Sharing)Note: See Appendix C in this User Manual for some common DSL Internet setting parameters.
