GETTING STARTED

Adding Computers to Your Network

Wireless devices such as computers, network printers, and gaming

systems can connect to your Router with a few simple steps.

Using the CD

1°

Put the Setup CD into your computer. If the CD

doesn’t open automatically, browse to your CD

drive and open the Belkin Setup CD icon.

2°

Click the Setup icon on the CD menu.

3°

After a brief installation, the setup software will ask you for the

network name and password from the network information card

that came with your Router. This card is most likely now located

underneath the foot of your Router in the provided card slot.

4°

A progress screen will appear while additional software is

installed. This may take a few minutes to complete. Once

finished, a “Success” message will appear indicating that you

are connected to the Internet via your new Belkin Router.

Note:

The setup software runs only on

Windows and Mac OS X systems.

GETTING STARTED

Manually

If you choose not to use the included Setup CD for

adding additional computers or wireless devices, you

can manually add these items to your network.

1°

Locate the wireless-network-connections option

on your computer or wireless device.

2°

Select your Belkin Router from the list of available networks. You

can identify your Belkin Router by locating the network name

(SSID) from the card located underneath the foot of your Router.

3°

Enter your network password (located on

your network information card).

Your wireless device will take a few moments to connect to your

network. If the connection is not made the first time, try this

process again. If you still have difficulty connecting to your network

after trying this process a few times, see the “Troubleshooting”

section in this manual for help with connecting to your network.

Note:

In some cases you may be prompted to select the

security type. It is printed on the card for your convenience.

Using the WPS Button

1°

Start WPS Push Button Connection (WPS PBC) on your

computer or other Wi-Fi device that you would like to connect

wirelessly to your Router. Often there will be a button for this

purpose in software that came with the device, or a physical

“WPS,” “PBC,” or “Security” button on the device itself.

2°

Within two minutes, press the WPS button on

your Router and hold for two seconds.

The WPS light (small light above WPS button) will blink blue while it

listens for your Wi-Fi device. Once a connection is established, the

light will turn blue and then go out. If a connection is not established,

the light will blink amber. You may repeat the process to try again.

You can repeat this process for each WPS-enabled

device you’d like to add to your network.

GETTING STARTED

Adding a Drive

You can share a USB hard drive or flash drive to your network via

your Router’s USB port. Once connected, you can share files and

music with other computers and devices within your network.

Plug your USB hard drive into the USB port on the back

of your Router. When the light above the USB port is lit,

your drive is available to computers on your network.

You can manually check the status of your shared drive by visiting

the USB Print and Storage Manager, found under the Belkin Router

Manager icon displayed in your system tray (Windows) or menu

bar (Mac). If you have difficulty sharing a drive on your network,

please see the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual.

A few USB hard disks require more power than the Router’s USB port

provides. In these cases, you may notice the drive failing to come on

or remaining on for a short time. If your disk has an optional power

supply, please use it while the disk is attached to your Router.

Adding a Printer

You can add a printer to your network via your Router’s

USB port. Once connected, you can print from various

computers and wireless devices within your network.

Plug your printer’s USB cable into the USB port located on

the back of your Router. When the light above the USB port is

lit, your printer is available to computers on your network.

You can manually check the status of your printer by visiting the

USB Print and Storage Manager, found under the Belkin Router

Manager icon displayed in your system tray (Windows) or menu

bar (Mac). If you have difficulty sharing a printer on your network,

please see the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual.

Note:

Each computer that will use the printer must have

both the Belkin software and the printer’s driver installed.

If the print driver is not installed, you will be asked to install

it by the Belkin USB Print and Storage Manager.

Adding Other USB Devices

Other USB devices may also be shared via your Router.

Plug your device into the USB port located on the back of

your Router. When the light above the USB port is lit, your

device is available to computers on your network.

Computers running the Belkin USB Print and Storage Manager will

be able to make use of the shared device by visiting the USB Print

and Storage Manager, found under the Belkin Router Manager

icon displayed in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac).
