CONNECTING AND CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
3.7
Verify that your modem is connected to the Router by checking the lights on
the front of the Router. The green light labeled “WAN” should be ON if your
modem is connected correctly to the Router. If it is not, recheck
your connections.
3.8
Verify that your computer is connected properly to the Router by checking
the lights labeled “LAN 1,2,3,4”. The light which corresponds to the
numbered port that you connected your computer to should be ON if your
computer is connected properly.
Step 4: Continue Following the Wizard’s Instructions
4.1
Checking the Connection
Once you have completed the connection of your Router, the Wizard will check
the connection to the Router. If the Router is not detected, use the
“Troubleshooting” button or refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this guide
to obtain help about how to correct the problem. If the Wizard is able to
communicate with the Router, the Wizard will move on to the next step.
4.2
Configuring the Router
The Wizard will now transfer all of the configuration information to the Router.
This will take approximately one minute.
4.3
When the transfer is complete, the Wizard will tell you that it is done and
may reboot (restart) the Router.

When configuration is complete, the Wizard will tell you “Router Setup
Complete” and it will move to the next step.
4.5
Checking Internet
The Wizard will now check for an Internet connection. This can take a few
minutes. The Wizard may not detect a connection right away. If not, it will retry
a number of times. The “Connected” light on the front panel of the Router will
flash during this time. Please be patient through this process. If at the end of
this process the Wizard cannot connect to the Internet, use the Troubleshooting
button or refer to the Troubleshooting section of this guide to obtain help about
how to correct the problem.

4.6 Finished
When the Internet connection is complete, the Wizard will tell you that you are
finished. The “Connected” LED on the front of the Router will be solid GREEN,
indicating that the Router is now connected to the Internet.
Your Router is now connected to the Internet. Now you can begin surfing the
Internet by opening your browser and going to your favorite web page.
Congratulations! You have finished installing your new Belkin Router. You are
ready to set up the other computers in your home. You can also add computers

The Wizard will make the changes needed to add your computer to the
network. When finished, it will prompt to reboot your computer. Click “Yes”.
5.5
When your computer reboots, your computer will be connected to the
network. To begin surfing the Internet, open your browser and go to your
favorite web page.
You are finished adding the computer to the network. To add more computers,
repeat this process on each computer you wish to add.
Step 5: Adding Other Computers to your Network Using the
Easy Install Wizard
If you have other computers in your home that are already equipped with a
wired or wireless network adapter, you can use the Easy Install Wizard to set up
those computers to connect to your Router. If you are adding a Belkin wired or
wireless network adapter to your other computers, install the adapter per the
instructions for the adapter. When the installation of the adapter is finished,
your computer will be set up to connect to the Router. You do not need to use
the Easy Install Wizard to set up the computer.
For Computers Already Equipped with a Wired or Wireless Network Adapter
5.1
For wired computers, connect an Ethernet cable between the computer you
want to add to the network and the Router. For wireless-equipped
computers, make sure your wireless adapter is installed and working. Set
your wireless adapter to connect to a wireless network SSID named “WLAN”
or “ANY”. In many cases you will find that you do not have to make any
changes. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for
information on making this change. Go to the next step.
5.2
Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. The Easy Installation Wizard screen
will automatically pop-up on your screen within 15 seconds. If it does not,
select your CD-ROM drive and double-click on the file named “Setup” on the
CD-ROM.
5.3
Click “Add computers”.

Verify that your modem is connected to the Router by checking the lights
on the front of the Router. The green light labeled “WAN” should be ON if
your modem is connected correctly to the Router. If it is not, recheck your
connections.
1.8

provided you.

Logging out of the Router
One computer at a time can log in to the Router for the purposes of making
changes to the settings of the Router. Once a user has logged in to make
changes, there are two ways that the computer can be logged out. Clicking the
“Logout” button will log the computer out. The second method is automatic. The
login will time out after a specified period of time. The default login time out is
10 minutes. This can be changed from 1 to 99 minutes. For more information, see
the section in this manual titled “Changing the Login Timeout Setting”.
Understanding the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
The home page is the first page you will see when you access the Advanced User
Interface (UI). The home page shows you a quick view of the Router’s status and
settings. All advanced setup pages can be reached from this page.
