9. Power Plug
Connect the included 15V DC power supply to this inlet. Using the wrong type of
power adapter may cause damage to your Router.
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 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).
[insert 9630-4 rear illustration. Can use the same image from F5D7633-4]
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.
[insert 9630-4 rear illustration. Can use the same image from F5D7633-4]
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. 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.
4. 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.
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.
[insert 9630-4 rear illustration. Can use the same image from F5D7633-4]
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.
[insert 9630-4 front illustration. Can use the same image from F5D7633-4. If the product name is clearly visible, correct it to ADSL2+
Modem with Wireless G Plus MIMO Router]
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.
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.

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 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
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
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 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.

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
ISP” box checked. To enter the DNS address settings, uncheck the
“Automatic from ISP” box and enter your DNS entries in the spaces
provided. Click “Apply Changes” (2) to save the settings.

Using Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name in any
of the many domains DynDNS.org offers, allowing your network computers to be more easily
accessed from various locations on the Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five
host names, free to the Internet community.
The Dynamic DNSSM service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to make it easy to access
your home PC and stored files while you’re at work. Using the service can ensure that your host
name always points to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it. When your IP
address changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by visiting
yourname.dyndns.org instead!
To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit http://www.dyndns.org.
Setting up the Router’s Dynamic DNS Update Client
You must register with DynDNS.org’s free update service before using this feature. Once you
have your registration, follow the directions below.
1. Select “DynDNS.org” from the dropdown box. Click “Apply Changes”
[insert 9630_DDNS.tif]
2. Enter your DynDNS.org user name in the “User Name” field (1).
3. Enter your DynDNS.org password in the “Password” field (2).

Wireless
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
[insert 9630_Channel_SSID.tif]
![](/img.php?id=729994&img=bg18.png)

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.
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated.
Selection of other channels is not possible.
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
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.
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.
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.
Encryption/Security
Securing your Wi-Fi Network
Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your
wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears.
This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office
user. At the time of this User Manual’s publication, there are four
encryption methods available.

system-generated data
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol) added so that keys are
rotated and encryption is

AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) does not cause
any throughput loss
.
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.
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.
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.
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
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters
between A–F and 0–9 in each box. You will use this key to program
the encryption settings on your Router and your wireless computers.
[Use current image]
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.
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-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS)
WPA-Personal (PSK)
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.
WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS)
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.
WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access)
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA based 802.11i standard. It offers higher level of wireless
security by combining advanced network authentication and stronger AES encryption method.
Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK) mode and WPA2-Enterprise
(RADIUS) mode. Typically, WPA2-Personal (PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home
environment, while WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment where
an external radius server distributes the network key to the clients automatically.
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 or WPA2 and make
sure your wireless networking devices are sharing the same
![](/img.php?id=729994&img=bg1b.png)
Network key.
The Wireless G Plus MIMO Desktop Network Card cannot access the network
because it is using a different Network key than the Network key that
is configured on the Wireless G Plus MIMO Router.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Router is equipped with WPA/WPA2 (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

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-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS). WPA-Personal (PSK) uses a so-
calledPre-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.
![](/img.php?id=729994&img=bg1e.png)
WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS)is a configuration wherein a radius server
distributes the keys to the clients automatically. This is typically used
in a business environment.

Wireless Bridge
Wireless Bridging or Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is used to connect Wireless
Routers and Access points together to extend a network.
Click on the Drop
down menu next
to ‘Bridge Mode’
to select either:
(insert 9630_WDS.tif)
Disabled: To disable Wireless Bridging (default)
Manual: To enter the wireless MAC address(es) of the Access Points to bridge with, manually.
1 Wireless channels must match between Router and AP.
2 Security settings (WEP) must match between Router and AP.
![](/img.php?id=729994&img=bg25.png)
3 If MAC filtering is enabled, user must be sure to add the WLAN MAC
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.
[use existing screenshot]
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.
[use existing screenshot]
![](/img.php?id=729994&img=bg26.png)
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.
[use existing screenshot]
![](/img.php?id=729994&img=bg27.png)
(1) (2) (3) (4)
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.
[use existing screenshot]
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application
![](/img.php?id=729994&img=bg28.png)
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.
[use existing screenshot]
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 respond 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.
[use existing screenshot]
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.
[use existing screenshot]
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.

Click on the “Apply Changes” button to save your settings.
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 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 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.

the Router labeled “DSL Line”.
2. Make sure the Router has power. The Power LED on the front
panel should be illuminated.
Problem:
The Internet LED is not on.
Solution:
1. Make sure the cable from the ADSL line is connected to the port
on the Router labeled “DSL Line” and the ADSL LED is on.
2. Make sure you have the correct VPI/VCI, user name, and password
from your ISP provider.
Problem:
My connection type is static IP address. I can’t connect to
the Internet.
Solution:
Since your connection type is static IP address, your ISP must assign
you the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Instead of using
the Wizard, go to “Connection Type”, and then select your connection
type. Click “Next”, select “Static IP”, and enter your IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway information.
Problem:
I’ve forgotten or lost my password.
Solution:
Press and hold the “Reset” button on the rear panel for at least 10
seconds to restore the factory defaults.
Problem:
My wireless PC cannot connect to the Router.
Solution:
1. Make sure the wireless PC has the same SSID settings as the
Router, and you have the same security settings on the clients
such as WPA or WEP encryption.
2. Make sure the distance between the Router and wireless PC are
not too far away.
Problem:
The wireless network is often interrupted.
Solution:
1. Move your wireless PC closer to the Router to find a better signal.
2. There may also be interference, possibly caused by a microwave
oven or 2.4GHz cordless phones. Change the location of the
Router or use a different wireless channel.
Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.
Solution:
If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer,
please check the following items:
1. Look at the lights on your Router. If you are using a Belkin Router,
the lights should be as follows:
• The “Power” light should be on.
• The “DSL LED”v should be on, and not blinking.
• The “Internet LED” should be either on or blinking.
2. Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in
the system tray at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
If you’re using a Belkin Wireless Card, the tray icon should look
like this. The icon may be red or green.
3. The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of
wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should have
a list of “Available Networks”— those wireless networks it can
connect to.
Does the name of your wireless network appear in
the results?
Yes, my network name is listed—go to the troubleshooting
solution titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my
network name is listed”.
No, my network name is not listed—go to the troubleshooting
solution titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my
network name is not listed”.
Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my network name
is listed.
Solution:
If the name of your network is listed in the “Available Networks” list,
please follow the steps below to connect wirelessly:
1. Click on the correct network name in the “Available
Networks” list.
2. If the network has security (encryption) enabled, you will need to
enter the network key. For more information regarding security,
see the page entitled: “Changing the Wireless Security Settings”.
3. Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower left-hand
corner of your screen should turn green, indication a successful
connection to the network.
Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my network name is
not listed.
Solution
If the correct network name is not listed under “Available
Networks” in the wireless utility, please attempt the following
troubleshooting steps:
1. Temporarily move computer, if possible, five to 10 feet from
the Router. Close the wireless utility, and re-open it. If the
correct network name now appears under “Available Networks”,
you may have a range or interference problem. Please see the
suggestions discussed in Appendix B entitled “Important Factors
for Placement and Setup”.
2. Using a computer that is connected to the Router via a network
cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is
enabled. This setting is found on the Router’s wireless “Channel
and SSID” configuration page.
If you are still unable to access the Internet after completing
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.
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.

7. Click “OK” to apply settings.
What is the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g, G Plus MIMO, 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; G Plus MIMO works at 54Mbps; and Pre-N works at 108Mbps.

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.
78
Appendixes
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
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.
