Cloning 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.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Using your Internet browser, you can access the Router’s Web-Based
Advanced User Interface. In your browser, type “192.168.2.1” (do
not type in anything else such as “http://” or “www”) then press the
“Enter” key.
You will see the Router’s home page in your browser window.
Viewing the LAN Settings
Clicking on the header of the “LAN Setup” tab
(1)
will take you to its
header page. A quick description of the functions can be found here.
To view the settings or make changes to any of the LAN settings, click
on “LAN Settings”
(2)
or to view the list of connected computers,
click on “DHCP Client List”

Changing LAN Settings
All settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed
and changed here.
1.
IP Address
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The
default IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the Web-Based
Advanced User Interface, type this IP address into the address
bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed.
To change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click
“Apply Changes”. The IP address you choose should be a non-
routable IP.
Examples of a non-routable IP are:
192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255), and
10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255).
2.
Subnet Mask
There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique,
advanced feature of your Belkin Router. It is possible to change
the subnet mask if necessary; however, do
NOT
make changes to
the subnet mask unless you have a specific reason to do so. The
default setting is “255.255.255.0”.

3.
DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy
by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network
automatically. The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server
can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so you
must manually set a static IP address for each computer on
your network. To turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click
“Apply Changes”.
4.
IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the
computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If
you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new
starting and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”.
The DHCP server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This
means that you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100
computers. For example, starting at 50 means you have to end at
150 or lower so as not to exceed the 100-client limit. The starting
IP address must be lower in number than the ending IP address.
5.
Lease Time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address
for each computer. We recommend that you leave the lease
time set to “Forever”. The default setting is “Forever”, meaning
that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular
computer. Setting lease times for shorter intervals such as one
day or one hour frees IP addresses after the specified period of
time. This also means that a particular computer’s IP address
may change over time. If you have set any of the other advanced
features of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are
dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want
the IP address to change.
6.
Local Domain Name
The default setting is “Belkin”. You can set a local domain name
(network name) for your network. There is no need to change this
setting unless you have a specific advanced need to do so. You can
name the network anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.

Viewing the DHCP Client List Page
You can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are
connected to your network. You are able to view the IP address
(1)
of
the computer, the host name
(2)
(if the computer has been assigned
one), and the MAC address
(3)
of the computer’s network interface
card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh”
(4)
button will update the list. If
there have been any changes, the list will be updated.
