HowtoSetItUp

Connect Your AC1750 DB Router

Turn off your modem by disconnecting its power supply. Some modems have a battery backup;

this will need to be disconnected at this time as well.

Connect your Router to your modem using the cable (already attached).

Power up your modem by plugging in its power supply. If your modem has a battery backup, it

can be reconnected at this time; you may need to hold the reset button for 10 seconds.

Power up your Router by plugging in its power supply.

Connect to Your Router

Retrieve the network ID card from the foot of your new Belkin

Router.

[Diagram of bottom of the router showing service card – can be

obtained from “Tested QIG 2011 07 14.pdf” provided]

Can’t find the card? The default network name and password are also printed on the foot of

the Router.

Use your computer, tablet, or smartphone to connect to the

wireless network shown on the network ID card.

For information on how to connect your wireless devices, please see the “Connect Your

Wireless Devices” section on page 20.

When requested, please enter the password (security key) provided

on the card.

When your device has connected to the Router, use a

browser to visit http://router/. The router homepage will

appear.

If the page does not load, then try visiting http://192.168.2.1 to see

the router homepage.

Click the “Detect my connection” button in green. (If you would

rather set up the Router manually, click the “set it up manually”

link and proceed to page 10.)

After several moments, your Router should automatically detect

your Internet connection and restart. This can take anywhere from

30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on your connection type.

If your Router is unable to establish an Internet connection on its

own, you may be asked to restart your modem or provide a

username and password if your connection requires one. Follow

the on-screen instructions provided.

Once your Router is online, it will determine if there is a firmware

update available and offer to install it. Please allow up to 5 minutes

for the firmware to update.

If there are no updates available, then setup will proceed.

At the next screen you will be invited to change your network

name and password. Re-using your previous network name (SSID)

and password makes connecting your existing devices to the new

router much easier.

If you decide to change these settings, then enter the new values

and click “Save and Continue.” (Note: The password must be at

least 8 characters long.)

If you changed your network name and password, make note of it

on the service card located on the foot of the Router. You will then

have to connect to the new network.

Please take this opportunity to register your Router. This will help

technical support if there is a problem with your Router.

Simply complete each of the required fields and click “Complete

Registration.” If you don’t want to register right now, click

“Register Later” to proceed.

At the next screen you can download optional software that was

bundled with your Router.

This screen shows you optional software that is available for your

Router, such as the USB software to allow you to print through the

Router’s USB port. If you wish to download and install any of

these software programs, simply click on the button appropriate for

your device.

When finished installing optional software, click “Thanks, take me

to the dashboard.”

Congratulations! You are now at your Router’s dashboard. Your

Router is set up and ready to use.

Media Server by myTwonky

Media Server by myTwonky lets your Router stream music, movies, and photos

to different DLNA/UPnP devices on your network.

In order to use Media Server by myTwonky, you will need to insert a USB

storage device with media content into a free USB port on the back of your

Router. Your Router will begin to make your content available to other devices on

your network automatically.

If you want to configure Media Server by myTwonky, visit http://router/ and

choose “Media Server.”

There are several settings in the configuration page:

DLNA Server: Enables or disables your media server

Server Name: The name under which other devices will see your content

Refresh: Re-scans your USB storage devices for media content

Shared Drives: Shows information about and status of each of your attached

drives. You can see the name of the drive, its capacity, and whether media is

being served from it or not.

When you click “Save,” your Router will save your changes.

Website Filters. Powered by Norton

Web filters provide a first layer of whole-home Internet protection to guard you

from unsafe and inappropriate websites on any device on your network.

There are four different filtering options:

1. Block malicious, adult, and other non-family-friendly sites

2. Block malicious and adult sites

3. Block malicious sites

4. No filters

If you think a site should be added to the filtering list, submit a request at

safeweb.norton.com.

Content filtering may not work as intended if:

1. You are connecting through a VPN router.

2. You are routing traffic through a proxy server.

3. You have previously visited the site and it has been stored in your cache.

4. You manually set the DNS servers on your computer, tablet, or

smartphone.

Intellistream QoS

Intellistream prioritizes video and gaming traffic for a better online entertainment

experience.

There are two ways to enable Intellistream:

Run a Speed Test:

In order for Intellistream to provide you the best media experience, your Router

needs to know what your approximate Internet speeds are.

Click “Run a Speed Test” and the test will begin.

Once complete you will see the results.

If your Internet speed is greater than 70Mbps when downloading, Intellistream

QoS will only improve your uploading experience.

Refresh – This will retest your Internet speed.

When you click “Save,” your Router will save your changes.

Manual set – This will let you set your approximate Internet speeds. If you do not

know your Internet speeds, contact your ISP.

When you click “Save,” your Router will save your changes.

Intellistream is now enabled.

IPv6 Configuration

A new version of Internet Protocol (IP) uses a 128-bit address to implement

additional features that are not present in current IP addresses.

Contact your ISP to inquire about their support for IPv6.

Pass-Through

Devices connected to your Router can talk to each other using

native IPv6 packets, but information will be sent to all connected

devices. Pass-through is not efficient and is not recommended for

consistent use.

10. A prompt asking, “Are you sure you want to continue with upgrading?” will appear. Click

“OK”.

11. A second prompt will open telling you the Router will not respond during the upgrade and

warning you not to remove the power supply from the Router. Click “OK” once more.

Congratulations. The firmware has been updated successfully.

Resetting the Router

Reset Button – Red

The “Reset” button is used in rare cases when the Router may function improperly. Resetting the

Router will restore the Router’s normal operation while maintaining the programmed settings. You

can also restore the factory default settings by using the “Reset” button. Use the restore option in

instances where you may have forgotten your custom password.

Resetting the Router

Push and release the “Reset” button. The lights on the Router will momentarily flash. The

“Router” light will begin to blink. When the “Router” light becomes solid again, the reset is

complete.

Restoring Your Router to Factory Defaults

Press and hold the “Reset” button for at least 5 seconds, and then release it. The lights on the

Router will momentarily flash. The “Router” light will begin to blink. When the “Router” light

becomes solid again, the restore is complete.

Restoring the Router to Default Settings Using the Web Interface

Symptoms

You need to restore the factory defaults using the web interface. This may be because the

Router is not performing as expected or you wish to remove all previously configured

settings.

Setup steps:

1. Open a web browser on the computer.

2. In the address bar of the web browser, type “http://router” or “http://192.168.2.1”.

3. Click on “Restore Factory Defaults” in the left-hand column under the “Utilities”

heading.

4. Click on the “Restore Defaults” button.

5. A warning box will open that says, “Warning: All your settings will be lost. Are you sure

you want to do this?” Click “OK”.

6. The Router will begin the restoring process. Once the restore is complete, the Router will

reboot.

Note: This may take several minutes.

Your Router has successfully been restored to its factory settings.

Mywirelessnetworkperformanceisslow,inconsistent,suffersfromweak

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.

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.

Product Warranty.

Belkin will repair or replace, at its option, any defective product free of charge

(except for shipping charges for the product). Belkin reserves the right to

discontinue any of its products without notice, and disclaims any limited warranty

to repair or replace any such discontinued products. In the event that Belkin is

natural use.

What is not covered by this warranty?

All above warranties are null and void if the Belkin product is not provided to

Belkin for inspection upon Belkin’s request at the sole expense of the purchaser,

or if Belkin determines that the Belkin product has been improperly installed,

altered in any way, or tampered with. The Belkin Product Warranty does not

protect against acts of God such as flood, lightning, earthquake, war, vandalism,

theft, normal-use wear and tear, erosion, depletion, obsolescence, abuse,

damage due to low voltage disturbances (i.e. brownouts or sags), non-authorized

program, or system equipment modification or alteration.

the damaged equipment to Belkin, Belkin may designate, in its sole discretion, an

equipment repair facility to inspect and estimate the cost to repair such

equipment. The cost, if any, of shipping the equipment to and from such repair

facility and of such estimate shall be borne solely by the purchaser. Damaged

equipment must remain available for inspection until the claim is finalized.

Whenever claims are settled, Belkin reserves the right to be subrogated under

any existing insurance policies the purchaser may have.

How state law relates to the warranty.

THIS WARRANTY CONTAINS THE SOLE WARRANTY OF BELKIN. THERE

ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED

BY LAW, IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION

OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE, AND SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARE LIMITED IN

DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS WARRANTY.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so

the above limitations may not apply to you.

IN NO EVENT SHALL BELKIN BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,

DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES SUCH AS,

BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST BUSINESS OR PROFITS ARISING OUT OF THE

SALE OR USE OF ANY BELKIN PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have

other rights, which may vary from state to state. Some states do not

allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential, or other

damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
