2928Alternate Setup Method2928Alternate Setup MethodStep 4 Configuring your Router for Connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP)The “Internet/WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The Router is capable of connecting to virtually any ISP’s system provided you have correctly configured the Router’s settings for your ISP’s connection type. Your ISP connection settings are provided to you by your ISP. To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click “Connection Type” (A) on the left side of the screen. Select the connection type you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS” (B) allows you to enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings. Clicking “MAC address” (C) will let you clone your computer’s MAC address or type in a specific WAN MAC address, if required by your ISP. When you have finished making settings, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.(A)(B)(C)

3130Alternate Setup Method3130Alternate Setup MethodSetting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Dynamic IP A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type found with cable modems. Setting the connection type to “dynamic” in many cases is enough to complete the connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connection types may require a host name. You can enter your host name in the space provided if you were assigned one. Your host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic connections may require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was originally connected to the modem.1. Host Name This space is provided to enter a host name that needs to be visible to your ISP. Enter your host name here and click “Apply Changes” (3). If your ISP did not assign you a host name, or you are not sure, leave this blank.2. Change WAN MAC Address If your ISP requires a specific MAC address to connect to the service, you can enter a specific MAC address or clone the current computer’s MAC address through this link. (2)(1)(3)
31Alternate Setup Method31section2134567891011Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Static IP A static IP address connection type is less common than other connection types. If your ISP uses static IP addressing, you will need your IP address, subnet mask, and ISP gateway address. This information is available from your ISP or on the paperwork that your ISP left with you. Type in your information, then click “Apply Changes” (5). After you apply the changes, the Internet Status indicator will read “connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.1. IP Address Provided by your ISP. Enter your IP address here.2.

Select “My ISP provides more than one static IP address” and enter your additional addresses.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)
3332Alternate Setup Method3332Alternate Setup MethodSetting your ISP connection type to PPPoE Most DSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use a DSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into the service. If you have an Internet connection in your home or small office that doesn’t require a modem, you may also use PPPoE.Your connection type is PPPoE if: 1) Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is required to connect to the Internet2) Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET or Enternet300 that you use to connect to the Internet3) You have to double-click on a desktop Icon other than your browser to get on the Internet(2)(1)(6)(3)(4)(5)

User Decide Login Server Manually If your login server IP address is not available in the “Select Your State” drop-down menu (6), you may manually enter the login server IP address by placing a check in the box next to “User decide login server manually” and type in the address next to “Login Server” (5).Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) SettingsA “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that translates Universal Resource Locater (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to IP addresses. Many Internet Service Providers (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.(2)(1)
3938Alternate Setup Method3938Alternate Setup MethodConfiguring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) Address All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have a unique “serial number” called a MAC address. Your Internet Service Provider may record the MAC address of your computer’s adapter and only let that particular computer connect to the Internet service. When you install the Router, its own MAC address will be “seen” by the ISP and may cause the connection not to work. Belkin has provided the ability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the Router. This MAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s system as the original MAC address and will allow the connection to work. If you are not sure whether your ISP needs to see the original MAC address, simply clone the MAC address of the computer that was originally connected to the modem. Cloning the address will not cause any problems with your network.
39Alternate Setup Method39section2134567891011Cloning your MAC Address To clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer that was ORIGINALLY CONNECTED to your modem before the Router was installed. Click the “Clone” button (1). Click “Apply Changes” (3). Your MAC address is now cloned to the Router.Entering a Specific MAC Address In certain circumstances you may need a specific WAN MAC address. You can manually enter one in the “MAC Address” page. Type in a MAC address in the spaces provided (2) and click “Apply Changes” (3) to save the changes. The Router’s WAN MAC address will now be changed to the MAC address you specified.(1)(2)(3)
