Connecting your Router
Positioning your Router
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer
is to your Router. 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 Router
Connecting your ADSL Line
Connection for the Router to the ADSL line varies by country and
region. 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 wall jack
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.
Connecting your Router
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.
3.
4.
If you have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11
wall jack, simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to
the gray RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of
your Router.
10
11
12
If you have an RJ45 wall jack for your ADSL service, connect an
RJ45-to-RJ11 converter to the wall jack. Then connect one end of
a telephone cord to the converter and the other end to the gray
RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router.
Note: ADSL microfilter may or may not be provided depending on
your country.
section
Connecting your Router
Powering Up your Router
1.
Connect the supplied power adapter to the Router power-input
plug labeled “Power”.
Note: For safety and performance reasons, only use the supplied
power adapter to prevent damage to the Router.
2.
After connecting the power adapter and the power source is turned on,
the Router’s power icon
on the front panel should be on. It might
take a few minutes for the Router to fully start up.
3.
Turn on your computers. After your computers boot up, the LAN
status LED
on the front of the Router will be on for each port
to which a wired computer is connected. These lights show
you the connection and activity status. Now you are ready to
configure the Router for ADSL connection.
10
Setting Up your Computers
In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you
will need to change your computer’s “TCP/IP Ethernet” settings to “Obtain
an IP address automatically/Using DHCP”. This is normally the default
setting in most home computers.
You can set up the computer that is connected to the ADSL modem FIRST
using these steps. You can also use these steps to add computers to your
Router after the Router has been set up to connect to the Internet.

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 as the router will
automatically adjust the length based on the IP address type.
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 IP Pool is the range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic
assignment to the computers on your network. The default is
26
Manually Configuring your Router
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
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”.
10
11
12
27
section
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.
Manually Configuring your Router
DHCP Client List
You 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 WAN
The “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. To 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 “Connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is the standard
method of connecting networked devices. It requires a user name and
password to access the network of your ISP for connecting to the
Internet. PPPoA (PPP over ATM) is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly
implemented in the UK. Select PPPoE or PPPoA and click “Next”.
Then enter the information provided by your ISP, and click “Apply

DNS (Domain Name Server) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that
translates Universal Resource Links (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to
IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information
into the Router. The “Automatic from ISP” box (1) should be checked
if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS address. 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. Leave the “Automatic from

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, and encryption security settings.
Channel and SSID

1. Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United
States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of Europe, there
are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are other channel
requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for
the country you reside in. The default channel is 11 (unless you are in a country
that does not allow channel 11). The channel can be changed if needed. If there
are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network should be set to
operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless networks. For best
performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other
wireless networks. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then
set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the channel
from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate.
34
Manually Configuring your Router
2. 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.
3. Using the ESSID Broadcast Feature
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.
10

35
section
For security purposes, 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 tick from the tick box next to the option, Broadcast SSID. 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.
Manually Configuring your Router
4. Using the Wireless Mode Switch
Your router can operate in either two different wireless modes:
• 802.11b & 802.11g- Choose this option if you plan to have wireless clients
of both 802.11b and 802.11g connect to your network.
• 802.11g - Use this mode if there are no 802.11b clients in the network.
This option gives the best performance but will not allow 802.11b clients to
connect.
5. 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—wireless
network traffic, your best performance will be achieved with Protected
mode OFF.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant
wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the
equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network.
64-Bit WEP
64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which includes
a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated
data (64 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 64-bit
as 40-bit encryption. Shortly after the technology was introduced,
researchers found that 64-bit encryption was too easy to decode.
37
section

Manually Configuring your Router
128-Bit WEP
As a result of 64-bit WEP’s potential security weaknesses, 128Bit
WEP was developed as a more secure method of encryption. 128-bit
encryption includes a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of
system-generated data (128 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers
refer to 128-bit as 104-bit encryption.
Most of the new wireless equipment in the market today supports
both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, but you might have older
equipment that only supports 64-bit WEP. All Belkin wireless products
will support both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP.
Encryption Keys
After selecting either the “64-bit” or “128-bit WEP” encryption mode,
it is critical that you generate an encryption key. If the encryption key
is not consistent throughout the entire wireless network, your wireless
networking devices will be unable to communicate with one another
on your network and you will not be able to successfully communicate
within your network.
You can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can
type in a passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate”
to create a key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and
letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex
characters. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex characters.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key
The WEP passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP key. Your wireless
card uses this passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different
hardware manufacturers might have different methods for generating
the keys. If you have equipment from multiple vendors in your
network, you can use the hex WEP key from your Router or access
point and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your
wireless card’s configuration screen.
38
Manually Configuring your Router
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a new Wi-Fi standard that was
designed to improve upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA
security, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must
be upgraded to support WPA. These updates will be found on the
wireless vendors’ websites. There are two types of WPA security:
WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with radius server).
WPA-PSK (no server)
WPA (with radius server)
With this system, a radius server distributes the Network key to
the clients automatically. This is typically found in a business
environment. For a list of Belkin wireless products that support WPA,
please visit our website at www.belkin.com/networking.
10

39
section
This method uses what is known as a Pre-Shared key as the Network
key. A Network key is basically a password that is between eight
and 63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers,
or characters. Each client uses the same Network key to access the
network. Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a
home environment.
Manually Configuring your Router
Sharing the Same Network Keys
Most Wi-Fi products ship with security turned off. So once you have
your network working, you need to activate WEP or WPA and make
sure your wireless networking devices are sharing the same
Network key.

Manually Configuring your Router
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 Characters.
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
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 your product to see which version
you are using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit
encryption, try 64-bit encryption.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Router is equipped with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the
latest wireless 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.
WPA Setup
Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded
to drivers and software that support it. At the time of this User
Manual’s publication, a security patch download is available free
from Microsoft. This patch works only with the Windows XP operating
system. You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin
Wireless G Desktop or Notebook Network 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 802.11g products.
There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA
(with radius server). WPA-PSK (no server) uses a so-called
Pre-Shared key as the security key. A Pre-Shared key is a password
that is between eight and 63 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 radius server) is a configuration wherein a radius server
distributes the keys to the clients automatically. This is typically used
in a business environment.
44
Manually Configuring your Router
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 63 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”.
