When you click “Apply Settings,” your Router will start applying your changes. Website Filters. Powered by Norton Provides 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 that there is a site that should be added to the filtering list, you can submit a request at safeweb.norton.com. Website 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 device. IntelliStream QoS IntelliStream is a feature of Belkin routers that 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 “Apply Settings,” 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, call your ISP. When you click “Apply Settings,” 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.

allowing increased bandwidth to all your connected wireless devices and computers. NAT IP Address Sharing To save you the cost of adding IP addresses per computer in your house, your Belkin Router uses Network Address Translation (NAT) technology, allowing you to share a single IP address across your network. SPI Firewall Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of common attacks and viruses. Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility The UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) feature in your Router offers seamless operation of voice and video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Web-Based Advanced User Interface You can easily make changes to your Router’s advanced settings through your web browser. These changes can be made from any computer on your network. Belkin Router Monitor The Belkin Router Monitor application helps you to monitor your Router’s status and change network settings. Integrated 4-Port Gigabit Switch Your Router has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired computers to share: printers, data, MP3 files, digital photos, and much more. 1 USB 2.0 Ports The USB ports let you plug in printers, hard drives, and other USB devices to share across your network.

You can choose to download the new version or ignore it. By default this feature is disabled. If you want to enable it, select “Enable” and click “Apply Changes”. Note: We recommend you use a computer that has a wired connection to the Router. Setup steps: 1. Open a web browser on the computer. 2. In the address bar of the web browser, type “http://192.168.2.1”. 3. Click “Login” in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The Router does not ship with a password, so just click “Submit”. 4. Click on “System Settings” in the left-hand column under the “Utilities” heading. 5. Toward the lower-half side of the screen you will find “Auto Update Firmware Enabling”. 6. Select “Enable” by clicking the radio button and then click “Apply Changes” at the bottom of the screen.
Updating Your Router via Your System Tray (Windows) or Menu Bar (Mac) Once you have completed the setup process, you will need to update the new software for your Router. This can be done easily via your computer’s system tray or menu bar. Setup steps: 1. Click on the blue Belkin Router Manager icon (right-click for Windows) in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac). 2. Select “Check for Updates” or “Update Available” from the menu. 3. You should now see the Belkin Updater window. 4. Click on the “Install Update” icon. Updating the Router’s Firmware via the Web Interface The following steps show you how to update your Router’s firmware using its web interface. You do not need to be connected to the Internet as this interface is built into the Router itself. Setup steps: 1. Locate and download the firmware file from the Belkin support site. (Type your part number into the search box in the top right corner and look for “Firmware” in the title.) 2. Save the file to a location on your computer where you can get to it easily, such as your desktop.
3. Connect the computer to one of the four LAN ports on the Router. 4. Open a web browser on the computer. 5. In the address bar of the web browser, type “http://192.168.2.1” and press “Enter” on your keyboard. 6. Click “Login” in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The Router does not ship with a password, so just click “Submit”. 7. Click on “Firmware Update” toward the bottom of the left-hand menu. 8. Click the “Browse” button toward the middle of the screen to search for the file you saved previously. Note: The firmware version in the images below is depicted as an example. Your file name
will vary depending on your model and version. 9. Select the firmware file by left-clicking on it and then click the “Open” button in the lower-right corner of the window. This will take you back into the Router’s interface. 10. Click the “Update” button. 11. A prompt asking, “Are you sure you want to continue with upgrading?” will appear. Click “OK”. 12. 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 10 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://192.168.2.1”. 3. Click “Login” in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The Router does not ship with a password, so just click “Submit”. 4. Click on “Restore Factory Defaults” in the left-hand column under the “Utilities” heading.
5. Click on the “Restore Defaults” button. 6. A warning box will open that says, “Warning: All your settings will be lost. Are you sure you want to do this?” Click “OK”. 7. The Router will begin the restoring process. Once the restore is complete, the Router will reboot. Note: This may take several minutes.

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.
