Configuring your Router for Connection to your ISP
The “Internet/WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your
Internet Service Provider. The Router is capable of connecting to virtually any
Internet Service Provider’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.

Setting your 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. Subnet Mask
Provided by your ISP. Enter your subnet mask here.
3. ISP Gateway Address
Provided by your ISP. Enter the ISP gateway address here.
4. My ISP Provides More Than One Static IP Address
If your ISP assigns you more than one static IP address, your Router is capable
of handling up to five static WAN IP addresses. Select “My ISP provides more
than one static IP address” and enter your additional addresses.
ALTERNATE SETUP METHOD
Setting your 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.

7. Connection ID (optional)
Provided by your ISP. If your ISP did not give you a connection ID, leave
this blank.
8. Disconnect after X….
The Disconnect feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router from your
ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time. For instance, placing
a check mark next to this option and entering “5” into the minute field will
cause the Router to disconnect from the Internet after five minutes of no
Internet activity. This option should be used if you pay for your Internet service
by the minute.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
[European Countries Only]. Some ISPs require a connection using PPTP protocol,
a type of connection most common in European countries. This sets up a direct
connection to the ISP’s system. Type in the information provided by your ISP in
the space provided. When you have finished, click “Apply Changes”
(9)
. After you
apply the changes, the Internet Status indicator will read “connection OK” if
your Router is set up properly.
1. PPTP Account
Provided by your ISP. Enter your PPTP account name here.
2. PPTP Password
Type in your password and retype it into the “Retype Password” box to confirm it.

4. Manually Enter Server IP Address
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) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that translates
Universal Resource Links (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to IP addresses. Many
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.
