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.
WhenyourdevicehasconnectedtotheRouter,useabrowserto
visithttp://router/.Therouter homepage willappear.
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.

available. You can choose to download the new version or ignore it.
You will see a series of prompts warning you that the firmware is about to be updated. Please
do not disconnect the power from the Router at this time as it could cause the system to fail.
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 (refer to image).
4. Open a web browser on the computer.
5. In the address bar of the web browser, type “http://router” or “http://192.168.2.1” and
press “Enter” on your keyboard.
6. Click on “Firmware Update” toward the bottom.
7. Click the “Choose File” button toward the middle of the screen to search for the file you
saved previously.
Note: The firmware version in the image above is depicted as an example. Your file name will
vary depending on your model and version.
8. 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.

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.

Mywirelessnetworkperformanceisslow,inconsistent,suffersfromweak
signal,orI’mhavingdifficultymaintainingaVPNconnection.
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.
