Connecting and Configuring your Router
Verify the contents of your box. You should have the following:
Belkin Wireless G Router
Quick Installation Guide
Belkin Easy Install Wizard Software CD with User Manual
RJ45 Ethernet Networking Cable (for connection of the
Router to the computer)
Power Supply
Modem Requirements
Your cable or DSL modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet
port. Many modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB
connection. If you have a modem with both Ethernet and USB, and
are using the USB connection at this time, you will be instructed to
use the RJ45 Ethernet port during the installation procedure. If your
modem has only a USB port, you can request a different type of
modem from your ISP, or you can, in some cases, purchase a modem
that has an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.
ALWAYS INSTALL YOUR ROUTER FIRST!
IF YOU ARE INSTALLING
NUMEROUS NETWORK DEVICES FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT YOUR ROUTER IS CONNECTED AND RUNNING
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OTHER NETWORK COMPONENTS
SUCH AS NOTEBOOK CARDS AND DESKTOP CARDS.

Belkin has provided our Easy Install Wizard software to make
installing your Router a simple and easy task. You can use it to get
your Router up and running in minutes.

your cable or DSL modem and that the Internet connection is active
and working at the time of installation. If it is not, you must use the
