INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router (the Router).

In minutes you will be able to share your Internet connection and network your

computers. The following is a list of features that make your new Router an ideal

solution for your home or small office network.

Key Features

Easy Install Wizard

The Easy Install Wizard takes the guesswork out of setting up your Router.

This automatic software determines your network settings for you and sets up

the Router for connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). In a matter

of minutes, your Router will be up and running on the Internet.

NOTE:

Easy Install Wizard software is compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000,

and XP. If you are using another operating system, the Router can be set up

using the Alternative Method described in this manual.

Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers

The Router supports a variety of networking environments including

Mac® OS 8.x, 9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 95, 98, Me, NT®,

2000, and XP, and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a

network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).

Front-Panel Connected LED Display

Lighted LEDs on the front of the Router indicate which functions are in

operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Router is connected to the

Internet. This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and

status-monitoring procedures.

Vertical or Horizontal Desktop Application

Your Router can stand vertically on the desktop to save space, or lay down

flat on a shelf or under your modem. The included vertical mounting base lets

you decide how to position the Router.

Web-Based Advanced User Interface

You can set up the Router’s advanced functions easily through your web

browser, without having to install additional software onto the computer.

There are no disks to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can make

changes and perform setup functions from any computer on the network

quickly and easily.

NAT IP Address Sharing

Your Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the single IP

address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving the

cost of adding additional IP addresses to your Internet service account.

INTRODUCTION

SPI Firewall

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a

wide array of common hacker attacks including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping

of Death (PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with zero length, Smurf Attack,

TCP Null Scan, SYN flood, UDP flooding, Tear Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP

defect, and fragment flooding.

Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch

The Router has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired

computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and much

more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed

of connected devices. The switch will transfer data between computers and

the Internet simultaneously without interrupting or consuming resources.

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless operation

of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are

UPnP-compliant.

Support for VPN Pass-Through

If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN connection,

your Router will allow your VPN-equipped computer to pass through the

Router and to your office network.

Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

on-board makes for

the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP

addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a

complicated networking setup.

MAC Address Filtering

For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client

identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its

own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the

web-based user interface and you can control access to your network.

Applications and Advantages

• Economically connect multiple computers to a single Internet connection

• SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) networking needs

Provides the easy and quick small network installation SOHO users need.
