address(es) of the Router/AP in order to allow communication with each
other.
4 If using a network protected by WPA, the SSID on both Access Points
must be the same.
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
essentially 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.

Virtual Servers
Virtual servers 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, machines from the Internet cannot
get to them because they cannot be “seen”. If you need to configure the
virtual server function for a specific application, you will need to contact
the application vendor to find out which port settings you need. You can
manually input this port information into the Router.
Choosing an Application
A list of popular applications has been included to choose from. Click
on “Select a Service” then select your application from the drop-down
list. The settings will be transferred to the first row available. Click
“Add” to save the setting for that application.
Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server
To manually enter settings, click on “Custom Server” and enter a
name for the server. Enter the Server IP address in the space provided
for the internal machine and the port(s) required to pass. Then select
the protocol type (TCP or UDP), and then click “Add”.
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.

Client IP Filters
The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or
other network services at specific days and times.
To restrict Internet access to a single computer for example, enter
a name of the filter in “Filter Name” box (1) and IP address of the
computer you wish to restrict access to in the IP field (2). Next, enter
“80:80” in the Port field (3). Select protocol from the “Protocol”
drop-down box (4). Click “Apply Changes”. The computer at the IP
address you specified will now be blocked from Internet access.
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 a
name for the user and the MAC address of each client on your network
to allow network access. Next, click “Add” to save the settings.

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application
properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to
unrestricted two-way Internet access. This may be necessary if the
NAT feature 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 its LAN IP address in the “Private
IP” field and click “Apply Changes” for the change to take effect.
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.
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click
“Apply Changes”. The Router will not respong to an ICMP Ping.

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 UPnP 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 Time-Out Setting
The login time-out 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 time-out is
set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session
will expire. You will have to log into the Router again to make any
more changes. The login time-out 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.

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 desired NTP time servers and the time zone that you reside
in, then click “Apply Changes”. 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.
Click on the “Change Settings” button to bring up the “Remote
Management” page.
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.

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 UPnP-compliant. 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 UPnP-
compliant 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 UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of
the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature.
Click on the “Change Setting” button to bring up the “UPnP Setting”
page. Then select “On” for “Enable UPnP”. Click on the “Apply
Changes” button to save your settings.

these steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
Problem:
My wireless network performance is inconsistent.
Data transfer is sometimes slow.
Signal strength is poor.
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 from the Router or access point.
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we
suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to 10 feet
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, you may choose
from several other channels depending on your region; see the
section entitled “Changing the Wireless Channel” on page 37 for
instructions on how to choose other channels.

Troubleshooting
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.

What’s the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g,
802.11a, and Pre-N?
Currently there are four levels of wireless networking standards, which
transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based on
the designation 802.11(x), so named by the IEEE, the board that is
responsible for certifying networking standards. The most common
wireless networking standard, 802.11b, transmits information at 11Mbps;
802.11a and 802.11g work at 54Mbps; and Pre-N works at 108Mbps.
Pre-N, the precursor to the upcoming 802.11n release, promises speeds
that exceed 802.11g, and up to twice the wireless coverage area. See
the following chart for more detailed information.

Appendix A: Glossary
IP Address
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. 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)
Subnet Mask
Some networks are far too large to allow all traffic to flood all its parts.
These networks must be broken down into smaller, more manageable
sections, called subnets. The subnet mask is the network address plus
the information reserved for identifying the “subnetwork”.
DNS
DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server. A Domain Name Server
is a server located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal
Resource Links) like www.belkin.com to IP addresses. Many ISPs
do not require you to enter this information into the Router. If you
are using a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter
a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for your
connection to work properly. If your connection type is Dynamic or
PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.
PPPoE
Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use
an ADSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE
to log you into the service.
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 or Enternet300 that
you use to connect to the Internet.

3. You have to 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. After you have typed in your
information, click “Apply Changes”.
After you apply the changes, the “Internet Status” indicator will read
“connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.
PPPoA
Enter the PPPoA information in the provided spaces, and click “Next”.
Click “Apply” to activate your settings.
1. User name - Enter the user name. (Assigned by your ISP).
2. Password - Enter your password. (Assigned by your ISP).
3. Retype Password - Confirm the password. (Assigned by your ISP).
4. VPI/VCI - Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).
Disconnect after X...
This 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.
Channel and SSID
To change the channel of operation of the Router, select the desired
channel from the drop-down menu and select your channel. Click
“Apply Changes” to save the setting. You can also change the SSID.
The SSID is the equivalent to the wireless network’s name. You can
make the SSID anything you want to. If there are other wireless
networks in your area, you should give your wireless network a unique
name. Click inside of the SSID box and type in a new name. Click
“Apply Changes” to make the change.

ESSID Broadcast
Many wireless network adapters currently on the market possess a feature
known as site survey. It scans the air for any available network and allows
each computer to automatically select a network from the survey. This
occurs if the computer’s SSID is set to “ANY”. Your Belkin Router can block
this random search for a network. If you disable the “ESSID Broadcast”
feature, the only way a computer can join your network is by its SSID being
set to the specific name of the network (like WLAN). Be sure that you know
your SSID (network name) before enabling this feature. It is possible to
make your wireless network nearly invisible. By turning off the broadcast of
the SSID, your network will not appear in a site survey. Obviously, turning
off the broadcast feature of the SSID helps increase security.
Encryption
Setting encryption can help keep your network secure. The Router
uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WIFI protested Access
(WPA) encrytion to protect to protect your data and features two rates
of encryption: 64-bit and 128-bit. Encryption works on a system of
keys. The key on the computer must match the key on the Router,
and there are two ways to make a key. The easiest is to let the
Router’s software convert a passphrase you’ve created into a key.
The advanced method is to enter the keys manually.
Virtual Servers
This 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, machines from the Internet cannot get to them
because they cannot be “seen”. If you need to configure the virtual server
function for a specific application, you will need to contact the application
vendor to find out which port settings you need.
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for
the internal machine, the port type (TCP or UDP), and the LAN and public
port(s) required to pass. Then select “Enable” and click “Set”. 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.

Client IP Filters
The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet,
email, or other network services at specific days and times.
Restriction can be set for a single computer, a range of computers,
or multiple computers.
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 on your network to allow
network access to each or copy the MAC address by selecting the
name of the computer from the “DHCP Client List”. To enable this
feature, select “Enable”. Next, click “Apply Changes” to save
the settings.
DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application
properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to
unrestricted two-way Internet access. This may be necessary if the
NAT feature 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
LAN IP address in the “Static IP” field and click “Apply Changes” for
the change to take effect.
If you have only one public (WAN) IP address, then you can leave
the public IP to “0.0.0.0”. If you are using multiple public (WAN) IP
addresses, it is possible to select which public (WAN) IP address the
DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the public (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, and click “Apply Changes”.

Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add
a password for more security, you can set a password from your
Router’s web-based user interface. Keep your password in a safe
place as you will need this password if you need to log into the
Router in the future. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set
a password if you plan to use the remote management feature. The
login time-out 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 time-out is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after
you leave, the login session will expire. You will have to log into the
Router again to make any more changes. The login time-out 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 a time.
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 time, 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.
Remote Management
Before you enable this function, 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.

UPnP
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. 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
UPnP-compliant 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 UPnP-compliant, 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.

Appendix B: Important Factors for Placement and Setup
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network
performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from
functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating
at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.
1. Wireless Router (or Access Point) Placement
Place your Wireless Router (or access point), the central
connection point of your network, as close as possible to the
center of your wireless network devices.
To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless
clients” (i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Notebook
Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless
USB Adapters):
• Ensure that your Wireless Router’s (or access point’s)
networking antennas are parallel to each other, and are
positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your Wireless
Router (or access point) itself is positioned vertically, point the
antennas a much as possible in an upward direction.
• In multistory homes, place the Wireless Router (or access
point) on a floor that is as close to the center of the home
as possible. This may mean placing the Wireless Router (or
access point) on an upper floor.
• Try not to place the Wireless Router (or access point) near a
cordless 2.4GHz phone.
2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference
Avoid placing your Wireless Router (or access point) near devices
that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense
objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:
• Refrigerators
• Washers and/or dryers
• Metal cabinets
• Large aquariums
• Metallic-based UV tinted windows
8584
Appendixes
8584
Appendixes
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that
objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between
your computers and Wireless Router or access point).
3. Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after
attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
• Try moving cordless phones away from Wireless Routers (or
access points) and your wireless-enabled computers.
• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone
that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may
be interfering.
• If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel
on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless
network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and
move your Wireless Router (or access point) to channel 11.
See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.
• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz
cordless phone.
4. Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as
apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless
networks nearby that can conflict with yours.
Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless LAN Utility
of your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks
that are available (see your wireless adapter’s manual), and
move your Wireless Router (or access point) and computers to a
channel as far away from other networks as possible.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in
order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from
neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices.
For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site
Survey and wireless channel information included in your
User Manual.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum
possible area with your Wireless Router (or access point). Should
you need to cover an even wider area, we suggest the Belkin
Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.
5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL
Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and
are used where security is important. Secure connections include:
• Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to
connect remotely to an office network
• The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online
(AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by
another cable or DSL service
• Most online banking websites
• Many commercial websites that require a user name and
password to access your account
Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power
management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.” The
simplest solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning
the VPN or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website.
A second alternative is to change your computer’s power
management settings so it does not go to sleep; however, this
may not be appropriate for portable computers. To change your
power management setting under Windows, see the “Power
Options” item in the Control Panel.
If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs,
and AOL, please review the steps in the previous pages to be
sure you have addressed these issues.
Appendix C: Internet Connection Setting Table
The table on the next page provides references to select and configure
Internet connection in setting up your ADSL connection. Many ISPs
use different settings depending on the region and equipment they use.
You may try the setting for the ISPs in your region. If it does not work,
please contact your ISP for your specific setting.
