CONNECTING AND CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER

Verify the contents of your box� You should have the following:

•

Belkin G Wireless Router

•

Quick Installation Guide

•

Belkin Setup Assistant Software CD with User Manual

•

RJ45 Ethernet Networking Cable (for connection of the Router to

the modem)

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�

Setup Assistant

Belkin has provided our Setup Assistant software to make installing

your Router a simple and easy task� You can use it to get your Router

up and running in minutes� The Setup Assistant requires that your

Windows 2000/XP, Vista, or Mac OS X v10�4 or v10�5 computer be

connected directly to 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 “Alternate Setup Method” section of this User Manual

to configure your Router� Additionally, if you are using an operating

system other than Windows 2000/XP, Vista, or Mac OS X v10�4 or

v10�5, you must set up the Router using the “Alternate Setup Method”

section of this User Manual�
