Initial Setup
Where to Place Your Router
For the best results, place the Router next to your modem in an
open location away from large metal objects and magnets such as
those found in speakers. Raising the Router above floor level can
improve the strength of your wireless signal.
How to Set It Up
[R N150 N300 N450 setup.ai]
1) Connect your Router’s Ethernet cable to your modem’s
Ethernet port (on the back of your modem). This port might
be labeled differently on your particular modem. If you are
adding a Router for the first time, this port may be connected
to your computer by an Ethernet cable. It is OK to disconnect
your computer and plug the Router into the modem instead.
2) Plug the Router’s power supply into a wall outlet.
3) Put the CD into your computer. If the CD doesn’t open
automatically, please browse to your CD drive and double-
click on the Belkin Setup CD icon.

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.
If the light on the front of the Router is solid blue, then your Router
is connected to the Internet. You may not be connected to the
Router’s wireless network. Please refer to “Adding Computers to
Your Network” in this manual for instructions.
If your Windows XP computer is running SP2, you will not be able to set up the Router
via the wireless setup process. You will need to either update to Windows XP SP3 or
complete the setup via a wired connection.
![](/img.php?id=1541446&img=bg15.png)
856168820-00973_F9K1108Dual-Band_N_Router_Manual
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly and my network name is not listed in
Available Networks.
1) Verify that your Router is on and the front-panel light shows
solid blue.
2) If you are far from the Router, you might try moving closer to
see if you might have been out of range.
3) Using a computer attached to the Router via a network cable,
visit http://router/ and ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is ON.
This setting is found on the “Channel and SSID” page.
My wireless network performance is slow, inconsistent, suffers from weak
signal, or I’m having difficulty maintaining a VPN connection.
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.
Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move
farther away from the Router.
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we
suggest temporarily moving the computer within 10 feet from
the Router if possible.
Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local wireless traffic and
interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can
improve performance and reliability. See the section titled
“Changing the Wireless Channel” for instructions on how to
choose other channels.
Limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit rate can
help improve range and connection stability. Most wireless
cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change
this property in Windows, 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, then choose the
“Advanced” tab and select the rate property.
![](/img.php?id=1541446&img=bg16.png)
856168820-00973_F9K1108Dual-Band_N_Router_Manual
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.
I’ve installed this new Router and some of my network clients (computers,
game consoles, etc.) are now unable to connect.
Your new Router came pre-configured with a network name and
password, found printed on an attached card. All clients must use
this network name and password to connect wirelessly to your
Router. You will need to find the network settings on your client,
select the network name printed on the card from the list of
available networks, and enter the password when prompted to join
the wireless network.
Does the Router support Wireless Protected Access (WPA) security?
The Router ships with WPA/WPA2 security turned on. Windows XP
and some older network hardware may require a software update
to support WPA/WPA2.
I am having difficulty setting up WPA security on my Router.
1) Log in to your Router by visiting http://router/ with your

856168820-00973_F9K1108Dual-Band_N_Router_Manual
4) Enter a password. This can be from 8–63 characters of your
choice, including spaces and punctuation, OR a 64-digit
hexadecimal number (using only the numbers 0–9 and letters
A–F).
5) Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Your wireless connection is
now encrypted. Each computer using your wireless network
will need to use the new key.
Note: If you are configuring the Router over a wireless
connection, you will have to re-connect to the Router after
changing any security settings.
Note: Some older networking hardware supports only WEP
encryption. If your older computers cannot connect to your
network, try 128-bit or 64-bit WEP, or seek software updates
from their manufacturers.
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security on my
Router.
1) Log in to your Router. Visit http://router/ with your web
browser. Click on the “Login” button in the top right-hand
corner of the screen. You will be asked to enter your
password. If you have never set a password, leave the
“Password” field blank and click “Submit”.
2) Click “Wireless” in the left-hand menu. Then click “Security”
just below that.
3) Select the “128-bit WEP” option.
4) You may type in a WEP key manually, or generate one from a
